Specific Heat Capacity Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Specific Heat Capacity = Heat Energy/(Mass*Rise in Temperature)
c = Q/(M*ΔT_rise)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Specific Heat Capacity - (Measured in Joule per Kilogram per K) - Specific Heat Capacity is the heat required to raise the temperature of the unit mass of a given substance by a given amount.
Heat Energy - (Measured in Joule) - Heat Energy is the amount of total heat required.
Mass - (Measured in Kilogram) - Mass is the quantity of matter in a body regardless of its volume or of any forces acting on it.
Rise in Temperature - (Measured in Kelvin) - Rise in Temperature is the increment in temperature of a unit mass when the heat is applied.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Heat Energy: 4200 Joule --> 4200 Joule No Conversion Required
Mass: 35.45 Gram --> 0.03545 Kilogram (Check conversion here)
Rise in Temperature: 16 Kelvin --> 16 Kelvin No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

c = Q/(M*ΔT_rise) --> 4200/(0.03545*16)

Evaluating ... ...

c = 7404.79548660085

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

7404.79548660085 Joule per Kilogram per K -->7.40479548660085 Kilojoule per Kilogram per K (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

7.40479548660085 ≈ 7.404795 Kilojoule per Kilogram per K <-- Specific Heat Capacity

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

What is Specific Heat Capacity?

Specific Heat Capacity is the amount of energy that must be added, in the form of heat, to one unit of mass of the substance in order to cause an increase of one unit in temperature. The SI unit of specific heat is joule per kelvin and kilogram, J/(K kg). The specific heat often varies with temperature, and is different for each state of matter. The specific heat of a substance is typically determined according to the definition; namely, by measuring the heat capacity of a sample of the substance, usually with a calorimeter, and dividing by the sample's mass.

How to Calculate Specific Heat Capacity?

Specific Heat Capacity calculator uses Specific Heat Capacity = Heat Energy/(Mass*Rise in Temperature) to calculate the Specific Heat Capacity, Specific Heat Capacity is the heat required to raise the temperature of the unit mass of a given substance by a given amount. Specific Heat Capacity is denoted by c symbol.

How to calculate Specific Heat Capacity using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Specific Heat Capacity, enter Heat Energy (Q), Mass (M) & Rise in Temperature (ΔT_rise) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Specific Heat Capacity calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.007405 = 4200/(0.03545*16).
