Learn the skill

Under a constant-specific-heat, single-phase model with no unaccounted energy transfer, c = Q/(m deltaT). Use the sample's mass and measured change, not its final temperature alone. These ideal values are invented.

Worked example

If 60 kJ raises 2 kg by 5 C, c = 60/(2 x 5) = 6 kJ/(kg C).

Question 1 Ideal paper sample 6 receives 70 kJ; its 2 kg mass rises 5 C without phase change or losses. What is c in kJ/(kg C)? Answer

Question 2 Ideal paper sample 7 receives 80 kJ; its 2 kg mass rises 5 C without phase change or losses. What is c in kJ/(kg C)? Answer

Question 3 Ideal paper sample 8 receives 90 kJ; its 2 kg mass rises 5 C without phase change or losses. What is c in kJ/(kg C)? Answer

Question 4 Ideal paper sample 9 receives 100 kJ; its 2 kg mass rises 5 C without phase change or losses. What is c in kJ/(kg C)? Answer

Question 5 Ideal paper sample 10 receives 110 kJ; its 2 kg mass rises 5 C without phase change or losses. What is c in kJ/(kg C)? Answer
