Calculate the specific heat of glass if 13.4 j of energy are required to heat 8.0 g of water by 2.0°c.

- Specific heat of glass is .

Solution:- It asks to calculate the specific heat of glass when 13.4 J of heat is required to heat 8.0 g of water by 2.0 degree C.

The equation used for solving this type of problems is:

where, q is the heat energy, m is the mass, c is specific heat and is change in temperature.

From given info:

q = 13.4 J

m = 8.0 g

= 2.0 degree C

c = ?

Let's plug in the values in the equation and solve it for c:

On rearrangement:

So, the specific heat of glass is .
