A 237-g piece of wire is heated, and the temperature of the wire changes from 25*C to 107*C. The amount of heat absorbed is 722 cal. What is the specific heat of the wire? Show all work, including the equation, and include units

The answer to your question is  C = 0.037 cal/g°C

Explanation:

Data

mass of the wire = m = 237 g

temperature 1 = T1 = 25°C

temperature 2 = T2 = 107°C

Heat = Q = 722 cal

Specific heat = C

Process

1.- Write the formula to find the specific heat

            Q = mC(T2 - T1)

-Solve for C

            C = Q / m(T2 - T1)

2.- Substitution

             C = 722 / 237(107 - 25)

3.- Simplification

              C = 722 / 237(82)

              C = 722 / 19434

4.- Result

               C = 0.037 cal/g°C

answer is: nuclear fusion produces elements that are heavier than helium.

nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus, releasing energy.  

for example, fusion of hydrogen atoms at the sun.  

this fusion nuclear reaction is in the inner core of the sun and hydrogen (atomic number 1) is conveted into helium (atomic number 2).  

the inner core is the central region of the sun and all solar energy is produced in the core by nuclear fusion.
