Specific heat is the energy stored in the form of heat per temperature and amount (mass, moles, or volume) and varies depending on composition, temperature, crystalline configuration, and phase (solid, liquid, or gas). For elemental iron it varies from 4.13-10.0 cal/mole K or (in SI units) 309-749 J/kg K. For liquid elemental iron the specific heat capacity is 8.15 cal/mol K or (in SI units) 611 J/kg K.
What else can I help you with?
Which metal has the highest specific heat capacity?
No. Metals have a relatively low specific heat.
How can thermometer be used to check the purity of a metal such as gold or iron?
A thermometer can be used to test the purity of a metal by measuring its specific heat capacity. Different metals have different specific heat capacities, so comparing the measured value to the known values for pure gold or iron can indicate the level of impurities present in the sample. A lower specific heat capacity than the known value may indicate impurities in the metal.
Does copper have a higher specific heat than water?
The specific heat of water is 4184 J kg-1 K-1 The specific heat of copper 385 J kg-1 K-1. So the answer is no.
What has the highest specific heat lead copper iron or granite?
Granite has the highest specific heat capacity among lead, copper, iron, and granite. This means that it requires the most energy to raise the temperature of a given amount of granite compared to the other materials.
What is the specific heat capacity of calcium hydroxide?
The specific heat capacity of calcium hydroxide is approximately 0.649 J/g°C.
Does aluminium have as high a specific heat capacity as iron?
No, aluminum has a lower specific heat capacity than iron. The specific heat capacity of aluminum is about 0.90 J/g°C, while iron has a specific heat capacity of about 0.45 J/g°C.
5.10g sample of iron is heated form 36 degrees C to 75 degrees C the amount of energy is 89.5j the specific heat capacity of this sample of iron is?
The specific heat capacity of iron is 0.45 J/g°C. This can be calculated using the formula: Energy = mass x specific heat capacity x temperature change. Solving for specific heat capacity: 89.5 J = 5.10g x 0.45 J/g°C x (75°C-36°C).
How do you measure molar heat capacity?
Specific heat is the heat capacity divided by the heat capacity of water, which makes it dimensionless. To obtain molar heat capacity from specific heat for a material of interest, simply multiply the specific heat by the heat capacity of water per gram [1 cal/(g*C)]and multiply by the molecular weight of the substance of interest. For example, to obtain the molar heat capacity of iron Specific heat of iron = 0.15 (note there are no units) Molar heat capacity of iron = 0.15*1 cal/(g*C)*55.85 g /gmole = 8.378 cal/(gmole*C)
Water requires more energy than an equal mass of iron for its temperature to increase by a given amount because water has a greater?
Water has a greater specific heat capacity.
Is the specific heat capacity of iron a dependent variable in a scientific experiment?
Yes, the specific heat capacity of iron can be considered a dependent variable in a scientific experiment, as it is a characteristic that can be influenced or affected by changes in other variables being tested.
What has the largest specific heat capacity brick iron water or glass?
Water.
Does water or iron has the largest specific heat capacity?
Of those two substances, water has.
Can you provide specific heat sample problems for practice?
Here are a couple of specific heat sample problems for practice: Calculate the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 50 grams of water from 20C to 40C. The specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 J/gC. A 25 gram piece of iron is heated from 25C to 100C. Calculate the amount of heat absorbed by the iron. The specific heat capacity of iron is 0.45 J/gC. These problems can help you practice applying the concept of specific heat in calculations.
What factor most influence the amount of energy needed to change the temperature of a substance?
specific heat capacity
Why aluminum can store more heat than iron?
yes
The heat capacity of a .287g lead sinker used by fishermen?
The heat capacity of a lead sinker would depend on its specific heat capacity and overall mass. Lead has a specific heat capacity of 0.128 J/g°C, so the heat capacity of a 0.287g lead sinker can be calculated using the formula: Heat capacity = mass x specific heat capacity. In this case, the heat capacity would be 0.287g x 0.128 J/g°C = 0.0367 J/°C.
How many joules of heat are given out when a piece of iron of mass 50grammes and specific heat capacity of 400joules cool from 80 degrees Celsius to 20 degree Celsius?
Where are you getting this specific heat number. With the other numbers there is no cancellation.
