Answer:
0.227 J/g°C
Explanation:
Specific heat is the heat change by one gram of substance if it is subjected to change of 1 degree celsius.
The relation between specific heat and mass and change in temperature is:
Q = heat change = mass X specific heat X change in temperature.
Given:
Q = 183 J
Mass = 18.5g
increase in temperature = 78.6-35 = 43.6 °C
Putting values
183 = 18.5X specific heat X 43.6
Specific heat = [tex]\frac{183}{18.5X43.6}= 0.227[/tex][tex]\frac{J}{g^{0}C}[/tex]
