Question
If $72.4 \mathrm{kJ}$ of heat is applied to a $952-\mathrm{g}$ block of metal, the temperature of the metal increases by $10.7^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. Calculate the specific heat capacity of the metal in $\mathrm{J} / \mathrm{g}^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$.
Step 1
We know that 1 kilojoule is equal to 1000 joules, so we multiply 72.4 by 1000 to get 72400 joules. Show more…
