By using the equation : Energy supplied = Mass × Change in Temperature × Specific heat capacity .
so : 350 = 50 × (36-20) × Capacity
then : 350= 50 × 16 × Capacity
then : 350 = 800 × Capacity
then : 350 ÷ 800 = Capacity
then : Capacity = 0.4375 J/KgÙ C

When the ball absorbs microwaves its temperature will?
rise
Which substance will absorb the greatest amount of heat when heated until they have the same final temperature?
For gasses at room temperature: Hydrogen 14.3 Helium 5.2 For liquids at room temperature: Ammonia 4.70 Water 4.18 For solids at room temperature: Lithium 3.58 Units in J/g*K
When liquid water is heated most of the energy that the water initially absorbs is used to do?
It is used to raise the temperature of the water.
How does a heat mover absorb heat from cold air?
A good example of this process is a refrigerator. Electricity is used to power the refrigerator to keep it cool. The room that the fridge is in is warmer. Normally the warm air from the room should flow into the refrigerator until they are the same temperature. The heat mover, which is the refrigerator in this case, absorbs the heat the cooler air absorbs, and moves it back into the room. This keeps the fridge at a constant temperature.
What makes sugar cubes dissolve faster?
If the solution process absorbs energy, then increasing the temperature increases solubility, and vice versa. The sugar and water solution process absorbs energy; hence increase the temperature, and the sugar solubility increases."Sugar cubes dissolve into liquids making tasty drinks!"
A metal weighing 50.0 g absorbs 220.0 J of heat when it's temperature increases by 120.0 degrees Celsius what is the specific heat?
0.04
If a surface absorbs insolation its temperature?
increases
Does the Ozone elevate the temperature of the planet?
Ozone is a greenhouse gas. It absorbs radiation and increases the temperature.
What happens to the thermal energy of a substance as its temperature increases?
When a sample of a substance absorbs thermal energy, its temperature rises.
Why is sometimes rainfall decreases when temperature increases?
The reason why sometimes rainfall decreases when the temperature increases is because the hotter temperature absorbs some of the rain water. This also makes for humid conditions.
How does the heat get in to the metal spoon?
since metal is a good conductor of heat, it absorbs the heat and the spoon increases the temperature
When matter absorbs heat what is its temperature?
thee temperature goes higher because when it absorbs heat,the temperature goes hotter :)
What happen to water when it absorbs heat?
It gains heat , it becomes warm because the temperature of the liquid/water increases and it expands and use up more space
Why the color of bees change from red to black as altitude increases?
As altitude increases the temperature decreases. In order to keep warm high altitude bees have developed a black colour which absorbs more sunlight and keeps them warmer.
Calculate the specific heat of a substance if 44.0 g of the sample absorbs 67.2 J and the temperature change is 11 K?
Determine the specific heat of a material if a 32 g sample of the material absorbs 58 J as it is heated from 298 K to 313 K?
Why does temperature increase with height through the stratosphere?
Ozone absorbs more ultraviolet radiation than does air in the troposphere. As a result, the stratosphere is heated, and air gradually increases in temperature to the top of the layer, called the startopause.
What happens to the particles in an object when it absorbs radiant energy?
Tempautre Increases
