When 824 J of heat is added to 9 grams of oil at 30°c , the temperature increases to 87°C. what is the specific heat of the oil

c = 1.61 j/g.°C

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of oil = 9 g

Heat added = 824 j

Initial temperature =  30°C

Final temperature = 87°C

Specific heat of oil = ?

Solution:

Specific heat capacity:

It is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of substance by one degree.

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

ΔT = Final temperature - final temperature

ΔT = 87°C - 30°C

ΔT = 57 °C

Q = m.c. ΔT

824 j = 9 g × c ×  57 °C

824 j = 513 g. °C × c

c = 1.61 j/g.°C

i would say b

explanation:

but i think i would need more information than that
