is this the correct way to find specific heat
it might be a little differnt then the actual book equation but is this correct?
Specific Heat= heat capacity/mass To find the heat capacity: Heat Capacity= quantity (J)/delta T delta T=(final temp/initial temp) I found the specific heat for water as follows: Heat capacity= 67200J/57.7-22 deg C = 1882.352941 J/deg C Specific Heat= 1882.352941 J/deg C / 459 g Specific Heat= 4.1009868 |
I see no problem in your method and the answer is only very slightly off what we were told in Physics, so I would assume its fine.
