Which metal has the highest specific heat capacity?
No. Metals have a relatively low specific heat.
What is a method for determining the specific heat for a metal like sodium which reacts with water?
One method is to measure the temperature change when a known amount of the metal reacts with water in a calorimeter. By knowing the heat released or absorbed during the reaction and the mass of the metal, the specific heat can be calculated using the equation q = mcΔT, where q is the heat, m is the mass, c is the specific heat, and ΔT is the temperature change.
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 is the specific heat capacity of a 50 gram piece of 100 degrees celsius metal that will change 400 grams of 20 degrees celsius water to 22 degrees celsius?
== == This answer is taken straight off yahoo answers and I thought it would be helpful to "spread the wealth." here it is. change in temperature of metal, 75 - 18.3 = 56.7 'C change in temperature of water, 18.3 - 15 = 3.3 'C energy gained by water, assuming Cp water = 4.1813 J/g/'C using the formula, Q = mCp(theta) where, Q = energy in Joules m = mass in grams Cp = specific heat capacity in J/g/'C theta = change in temperature in 'C 3.3 * 150 * 4.1813 = 2.06974 kJ energy gained by water = energy dissipated by metal using the formula, Q = mCp(theta) and solving for Cp Cp of metal = 2.06974 k / 56.7 *150 = 0.2434 J/g/'C
Which metal has the highest specific heat capacity?
No. Metals have a relatively low specific heat.
If a student was transferring metal to a calorimeter and water splashes out will it affect the specific heat of the metal?
No, water splashing out of the calorimeter will not affect the specific heat of the metal. The specific heat of a substance is an intrinsic property that remains constant regardless of the environment.
Why is a measured amount of water needed to determine the spicific heat of a metal object?
A measured amount of water is used in determining the specific heat of a metal object because water has a well-defined specific heat capacity (1 calorie/gram °C) and is readily available. By measuring the temperature change of a known mass of water when a metal object is immersed in it, and knowing the specific heat of water, we can calculate the specific heat of the metal object.
A 14.8g piece of metal is warmed so that its temperature increases by 7.58 degrees celsius.how much heat was transferred into it?
It depends on what the metal is. Different materials have different specific heats and will take various amount of energy to heat up. You need to find the specific heat of the metal used. Use Q=CmT Q=amount of energy C=specific heat m=mass T=change in temp
Why metal feels cold but wood warm?
The answer lies in a property called "specific heat". Specific heat describes the amount of energy needed to raise a material's temperature by one degree. Metal has a low specific heat, so it warms up fast and cools fast. Wood has a higher specific heat, so these processes are slower. In both cases, heat (energy) is transferred from your hand to the wood/metal, but since this happens faster with metal, it feels colder.
What is meant by the specific heat of a metal?
at least 1 kelvin
Four 5-gram blocks of metal are sitting out in the sun and absorb the same amount of heat energy. Use the following specific heat capacity data to determine which block will increase its temperature t?
To determine which block will increase its temperature the most, compare the specific heat capacity of each metal. The metal with the lowest specific heat capacity will increase its temperature the most with the same amount of heat energy absorbed. Choose the metal with the lowest specific heat capacity among the four blocks.
Which metal has the lowest specific heat capacity?
Gold has the lowest specific heat capacity.
What metal will have the highest temperature with specific heat of aluminum 0.215 copper 0.092 and silver of 0.057?
I would like to start off by saying that: Energy absorbed by metal = mass of metal x specific heat capacity of metal x change in temperature of the metal If the same amount of energy is given to all three metals, there would be the highest temperature increase in the metal with the lowest specific heat capacity. Therefore, Silver would be the answer.
The temperature of a piece of unknown metal with a mass of 18.0 g increases from 25.0 degrees C to 40 degrees C when the metal absorbs 124.2 J of heat What is the specific heat of the unknown metal?
Without stating units, it is impossible to answer this question accurately. However, the equation you would need is q=mc∆T, where q is the heat flow (the 53.0 listed, likely Joules), m is the mass of the unknown metal (11.1, likely grams), c is the specific heat of the metal (the unknown you need to solve for), and ∆T is the change in temperature of the metal (24.1-13.0, likely Celcius). Rearranged to solve for specific heat, the question is c=q/m∆T.
What is an example of low specific heat?
An example of a substance with low specific heat is metal, such as iron or aluminum. These materials heat up quickly when exposed to heat and cool down quickly as well, due to their low specific heat capacity.
A metal object with mass of 19g is heated to 96 Celsius then transferred to calorimeter containing 75 grams of water at 18 Celsius It reaches a temperature of 22 Celsius What is the specific heat?
The specific heat capacity of the metal object can be calculated using the formula q = mcΔT, where q is the heat transferred, m is the mass, c is the specific heat capacity, and ΔT is the temperature change. The heat gained by the metal is equal to the heat lost by the water in the calorimeter, so q_metal = -q_water. By setting up the equation and solving for c, you can find the specific heat capacity of the metal.
