A 47.70 g sample of a substance is initially at 20.7 °C. After absorbing 1271 J of heat, the temperature of the substance is 119.1 °C. What is the specific heat ( 𝑐 ) of the substance?
Q = m*c*delta-T.
In your problem, Q = 1271 J, m = 47.70 g, and delta-T = 98.6 K.
So c = [1271/(47.70*98.6)] J/gK = around 0.28 J/gK but use a calculator.
