specific heat capacity

(1/1)

quee:
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?

Donaldson Tan:
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

ps: i modified your the title in your post to reflect your question in the title
