Part A
It takes 47.0 J to raise the temperature of an 9.50 g piece of unknown metal from 13.0∘C to 24.8 ∘C. What is the specific heat for the metal?
Express your answer with the appropriate units. Cs=
Parts B and C
The next two questions pertain to silver. They have nothing to do with unknown metal described in Part A.
Part B
The molar heat capacity of silver is 25.35 J/mol⋅∘C. How much energy would it take to raise the temperature of 9.50 g of silver by 19.5 ∘C?
Express your answer with the appropriate units. q=
Part C
What is the specific heat of silver?
Express your answer with the appropriate units.
Part A
Heat required = mass * specific heat * change in temperature
In the given problem, heat required = 47 J, mass = 9.5 g, temp change = 24.8-13= 11.8 oC
specific heat = 47 J/ 9.5 g * 11.8 oC = 0.42 J/ g/oC
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part B
moles of meatl present = 9.5g / 107.86 = 0.088 moles
heat required = moles * molar specific heat * raise in temperature
= 0.088 * 25.35 * 19.5 = 43.50 J
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part C
specific heat of silver = molar specific heat / mol. wt =
= 25.35 J/mol.oC / 107.86 = 0.235 J/ goC
