QUESTION:
Problem 10P
(II) Samples of copper, aluminum, and water experience the same temperature rise when they absorb the same amount of heat. What is the ratio of their masses?
ANSWER:
Solution 10 P
Step 1 of 2
We have to find the ratio of the masses of the samples of copper, aluminum, and water, if they experience the same temperature rise when they absorb the same amount of heat.
The same amount of heat absorbed by all the three samples can be found using the equation,
where,
heat absorbed in J
mass of the sample in kg
specific heat of the sample substance in J/kgoC
= rise in temperature of the sample in oC
