A substance of unknown mass absorbs 138 kilojoules of energy, going from 298 to 303 kelvin. if the specific heat of the substance is 7.11 j/g·°c, how much of the substance was present? 3.88 kg 32.3 g 3.88 g 32.3 kg

Respuesta :

Heat absorbed to raise the temperature is given by

[tex]Q = mc\Delta T[/tex]

here

m = mass

c = 7.11 J/g C

[tex]\Delta T = 303 - 298 = 5 kelvin[/tex]

Q = 138 KJ

Now by using the above formula we will have

[tex]138 * 10^3 = m* 7.11 * 5[/tex]

[tex]m = 3881 gram[/tex]

[tex]m = 3.88 kg[/tex]

So the amount of the substance will be 3.88 kg
