help- a diamond weighing 310 mg requires 2.38 j to raise its temperature from 23.4 centigrade to 38.7 Centigra

Question

A)Calculate the specific heat capicity of diamond
B)calculate the molar heat capicity of diamond

thanks

Answer 1

Book-keeping and definitions. Don't let things like that frighten you.

Amount of heat = mass x specific heat capacity x temperature change.

Substitute the numbers and rearrange to make specific heat capacity the subject.

Molar heat capacity = specific heat capacity x molar mass.

Use atomic mass of carbon for the molar mass.

Good luck!
