Answer to Question #92378 in Molecular Physics | Thermodynamics for Noxy

Question

What I's the heat Capacity of 100g of copper calorimeter

Answer 1

Specific heat of copper is

$$S=385\mathrm{\frac{J}{kg\,C}}$$

Therefore heat capacity for m=100g=0.1kg:

$$C= S\cdot m=385\cdot 0.1\mathrm{\frac{J}{C}}=38.5\mathrm{\frac{J}{C}}$$
