It is necessary to determine the specific heat of an unknown object. the mass of the object is 201.0 g. it is determined experimentally that it takes 15.0 j to raise the temperature 10.0 ° c. what is the specific heat of the object?

The specific heat of the object is 0.0074 J/(g °C)

Explanation:

Data

mass, m = 201 g

Heat, Q = 15 J

temperature change, ΔT = 10 °C

specific heat, cp = ?

The equation that relates these variables is:

Q = m*cp*ΔT

Solving for specific heat we get:

cp = Q/(m*ΔT)

Replacing with data (units are ommited):

cp = 15/(201*10)

cp = 0.0074 J/(g °C)

answer: d. objects on jupiter experience more gravity due to more gases
