please help :) An unknown substance has a mass of 24.7 g. The temperature of the substance increases by 17.9 degree Celsius when 1.70 Times 102 J of heat is added to the substance. What is the most likely identity of the substance? The table lists the specific heat of select substances. The temperature of an object increases by 41.1 degree C when it absorbs 3715 J of heat. Calculate the heat capacity of object. The mass of the object is 377 g. use this table specific heats to identify the object. Solution 1) E = mC(delta)T 1.7 * 10^2 = 24.7 * 17.9 * C C = 0.384 J/g (degree)C From table we see copper has the same specific heat Hence the substance is Copper 2) E = mC(delta)T 3715 = 377 * C * 41.1 C = 0.239 J/g (degree)C Hence the substance is Silver (as seen from the table).
