Title: specific heat capacity
Post by: quee on October 08, 2004, 03:55:56 PM

154 grams of antifreeze absorbs 5045 joules of energy in going from 21 degrees celcius to 35 degrees celcius. what is the specific heat of the antifreeze?

use this equation to solve:

Q = mc(dT) where

Q: heat absorbed
m: mass of antifreeze
c: specific heat capacity of antifreeze
dT: drop in temperature
