A chemist carefully measures the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of a 1.63 kg sample of C3H9N from -8.0°C to 6.9°C. The experiment shows that 6.90 x 10^4 J of heat is needed. What can the chemist report for the molar heat capacity of C3H9N?

Step 1
First, we need to find the specific heat capacity (c) of the substance. We can use the formula: q = mcΔT where q is the heat energy, m is the mass, c is the specific heat capacity, and ΔT is the change in temperature. Show more…

A chemist carefully measures the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of a 1.95 kg sample of C4H6O2 from 57.0 °C to 68.1 °C. The experiment shows that 3.62 x 10^4 J of heat are needed. What can the chemist report for the molar heat capacity of C4H6O2? Round your answer to 3 significant digits.
A chemist carefully measures the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of a 308.0 mg sample of C4H11N from -0.6 degrees Celsius to 11.5 degrees Celsius. The experiment shows that 9.12 J of heat is needed. What can the chemist report for the molar heat capacity of C4H11N? Round your answer to significant digits. J*mol^-1*K^-1
