Answer:
0.228 J/g°C
Explanation:
The specific heat capacity, denoted by c, can be calculated using the formula:
Q = m × c × ∆T
Where; Q = amount of heat
m = mass
c = specific heat capacity
∆T = change in temperature
In this question, m = 9.0g, Q = 127J, T1 = 23°C, T2 = 85°C
Using, Q = m × c × ∆T
127 = 9 × c × (85-23)
127 = 9 × c × 62
127 = 558c
c = 127/558
c = 0.2275
c = 0.228 J/g°C
