The specific heat of a substance is 0.38 J/goC. How much energy is required to raise the temperature of 42 g of the substance from 25oC to 39oC?

223.4J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Specific heat capacity of substance  = 0.38J/g°C

Mass of substance  = 42g

Initial temperature  = 25°C

Final temperature  = 39°C

Unknown:

Energy required to raise the temperature  = ?

Solution:

The amount of heat required by the substances can be derived using the expression below;

  H  = m c Δt

H is the amount of heat energy

m is the mass

c is the specific heat capacity

Δt is the change in temperature;

 Δt  = 39°C  -  25°C  = 14°C

 Now insert the parameters and solve;

 H = 42 x 0.38 x 14  = 223.4J

the ozone layer acts as a filter for the shorter wavelength and highly hazardous ultraviolet radiation (uvr) from the sun, protecting life on earth from its potentially harmful effects. when the sky is clear, there is an inverse relationship between stratospheric ozone and solar uvr measured at the earth's surface.
