The specific heat capacity of silver is 0.24 J/°C·g.?

Question

The specific heat capacity of silver is 0.24 J/°C·g.

Calculate the energy required to raise the temperature of 1.0 mol Ag by 1.0°C (called the molar heat capacity of silver).

answer should be in J/mol C

Answer 1

Atomic weight: Ag=108

1.0degC x 108gAg/1molAg x 0.24J/degC-g = 26 J to two sig figs.

Answer 2

Energy required = amount x change in T x specific heat a) You are told g and specific heat per g b) Just like (a), but you need to look up the required mass c) Use same equation, but this time mass is your unknown.
