Halliday, Resnick & Walker — Temperature, Heat, and the First Law of Thermodynamics: Problem 2

2 A certain substance has a mass per mole of 50.0 g/mol. When 325 J is added as heat to a 30.0 g sample, the sample’s temperature rises from 25.0°C to 45.0°C. What are the (a) specific heat and (b) molar specific heat of this substance? (c) How many moles are in the sample?

📝 Solution Approach

Given: 2 A, 50.0 g, 325 J, 30.0 g, 25.0°C, 45.0°C

Find: (a) specific heat and; (b) molar specific heat of this substance?; (c) How many moles are in the sample?
