The specific heat of silver is 0.234 j/(g·c). calculate the amount of energy that is needed to raise the temperature of 175 g of silver from 22.5°c to 40.0°c.
heat energy is supplied to materials and can cause an increase in temperature of the material. the formula is as follows H = mcΔt where H - heat energy m - mass of material c - specific heat Δt - change in temperature - 40.0 °C - 22.5 °C = 17.5 °C substituting the values H = 175 g x 0.234 Jg⁻¹°C⁻¹ x 17.5 °C H = 716.6 J 716.6 J is required
