Question
(I) What is the specific heat of a metal substance if 135 kJ of heat is needed to raise 4.1 kg of the metal from 18.0$^\circ$C to 37.2$^\circ$C?
Step 1
We know that 1 kilojoule is equal to 1000 joules. So, 135 kilojoules is equal to 135,000 joules. \[Q = 135 \, \text{kJ} = 135,000 \, \text{J}\] Show more…
