Question

What is the heat capacity of a 50 g sample of iron at 25°C, given that the specific heat capacity of iron is 0.45 J/g °C?

Answer 1

To calculate the heat capacity of the 50 g sample of iron, you can use the formula:Heat capacity  Q  = mass  m   specific heat capacity  c Given the mass  m  of the iron sample is 50 g and the specific heat capacity  c  of iron is 0.45 J/g C, you can plug these values into the formula:Q = 50 g  0.45 J/g CQ = 22.5 J/CThe heat capacity of the 50 g sample of iron at 25C is 22.5 J/C.
