What mass of mercury would require 65 point 5 J of energy to raise the temperature of 20C to 100C The specific heat of mercury is point 140 JgC?
Bobbernip
5.85 g
We have to use Q = m s @
Q - heat energy in joule ie 65.5 J
s - specific heat capacity ie 0.140 J/g/C
@ = @2 - @1 = 100 - 20 = 80 C
Just plug and you get the above 5.85 g nearly
Add:
Q = m•C•Δt, where Q is heat added, m is mass in grams, C is specific heat, and Δt is change in temperature.
Known:
Q = 65.5 Joules
C = 0.140 J/g•oC
Δt = 100oC-20oC = 80oC
Unknown: mass of Mercury in grams
Solution
m = Q/C•Δt
m = 65.5 J/(0.140 J/g•oC)(80oC) = 6 grams (rounded to 1 significant figure)

Would substances with high specific heat capacity also have high temperatures?
Specific heat capacity is the amount of energy or heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by one kelvin. So if the specific heat capacity is high then you would require more energy or heat to raise its temperature. The specific heat capacity does not really have anything to do with how much you can increase an objects temperature. IT HAS TO DO WITH THE ENERGY NEEDED TO INCREASE THE TEMPERATURE.
What term is use to describe the amount of energy it takes for a certain amount of substances to be raised one degree in temperature is it specific heat specific gravity specific energy specific mass?
It is the Specific Heat Capacity.
What equals the mass times the specific heat times the change in temperature?
The Energy
What means that a large amount of energy is required to change the waters temperature?
Specific heat
How much heat energy is required to raise the temperature of 0.365 of copper from 23.0 to 60.0 The specific heat of copper is 0.0920?
How much heat energy is required to raise the temperature of 0.358 of copper from 23.0 to 60.0 ? The specific heat of copper is 0.0920

What is the temperature called at which no energy can be removed from matter?
Cellurized Mercury
Does raising the temperature require an input of energy?
Yes.
Which would require a greater amount of heat water or iron?
To raise the temperature of both an equal amount, water would require more energy. In terms of the energy required to raise the temperature: iron = 0.45 joules / gram . kelvin water = 4.2 joules / gram . kelvin This is known as the specific heat capacity of a material
What liquids don't turn into gases?
All liquids can be turned into a gas with the correct amount of energy. Assuming the question is specific to liquids at room temperature then the answer is Mercury (Hg) and Bromine (Br).
Materials with a high specific heat can absorb a lot of energy and show little change in temperature?
Yes. Specific heat capacity is the amount of heat energy required to change the temperature of the material, so a material with high specific heat needs a lot of heat energy for its temperature to go up.
How does temperature relate to amount of energy present in a substance?
Higher temperature means greater energy content compared to a lower temperature. The energy required to change the temperature is proportional to the mass of the system, the specific heat capacity, and the temperature change.
Which item requires the least energy to increase its temperature lounge chair sand or water Explain your answer in terms of this item's specific heat?
Sand needs least energy to increase the temperature as its specific heat is very low compared to that of water. Water needs more energy to increase its temperature as its specific heat capacity is higher.
What two things affect energy?
Its temperature and its specific thermal capacity
Will concrete brick aluminum or copper take most energy to increase its temperature?
Whichever of them has the lowest specific heat capacity will take the least energy to raise its temperature, and whichever has the highest specific heat capacity will take the most energy.
How warm is 22watts?
Watt is not a temperature - it's a power. That is, how fast energy is transferred. The energy transfer may occur at just about any temperature; the specific temperature is often irrelevant.
What type of reaction releases energy and does not require initial energy to occur?
All reactions require an activation energy. Some appear not to because that energy is provided enough by their temperature. Thus, there is no reaction that does not require any initial energy to occur. A reaction that results in an overall release of energy is called an exothermic reaction.
