Calculate the specific heat for as air if 1500.0 joules are required to raise the temperature of 50.0g from 0.0c to 40.0c

The specific heat, c is 0.75 J/g°C

Explanation:

Heat or Energy, Q = 1500J

Mass, m = 50g

T1 =  0°C

T2 = 40°C

Specific Heat, c = ?

We know,

Q = mcΔT

Q = mc(T2-T1)

1500 = 50 X c X (40-0)

1500 = 50 X c X 40

c = 1500/ 2000

c = 0.75 J/g°C

Therefore, the specific heat, c is 0.75 J/g°C

that's what i got you can count the number of atoms

answer : third trial had the contaminated sample and the correct value for dhrxn should be 1000 kj/mol

explanation :

let us write down the given equations

equation 1 :

equation 2 :

equation 3 :

let us use hess's law to find out which 2 equations can be added to get the third equation.

let us reverse equation 2 and multiply it by 2. the new equation that we get is,

equation 4 :

let us add equation 1 & 4

the above equation is similar to equation 3 but has different value for dhrxn.

therefore third trial had the contaminated sample and the correct value for dhrxn should be 1000 kj/mol
