The specific heat capacity of unknown substance is 1.333 g/j/°c
calculation
Specific heat capacity is calculated using Q= MCΔT formula
where;
Q(heat)= 800 j
M(mass) = 30 g
C(specific heat capacity) =?
ΔT( change in temperature) = 40°c - 20°c = 20°c
make C the subject of the formula by diving both side of the formula by MΔT
C is therefore = Q/MΔT
800j / 30 g x 20°c = 1.333 j/g/°c
