    I've been struggling with this for two weeks. I read my textbook over and over, read my professor's notes over and over, still no dice. Then I watched your video and got it in 5 minutes. Thank you for uploading such a useful resource.

    Hey there Mr. Hren!!
    One sorrowful day, I got a packet of Specific Heat. While the lesson was being taught, I listened but was staring at my friend in front of me. My teacher assigned us this packet, and off we went. Later, I realized that I literally had no IDEA of what to do. Khanacademy, was hard to understand so I watched this. You really helped me and my grades. Thanks a lot!! :-)

    Two identical systems, with heat capacity at constant volume that varies as Cv=bT^3 (where b is a constant) are thermally isolated. Initially, one system is at a temperature 100K and the other is at 200K. The systems are then brought into thermal contact and the combined system is allowed to reach thermal equilibrium. What will be the final temperature of the combined system?

    I'm having trouble with this one. Some help would be awesome!
    The Specific Heat of a substance is the energy (Joules) required to raise one gram of substance by one degree celsius, (units J/goC).
    Heating 115 cm3 of a solid from 35.05 oC to 75.35 oC takes 13750 J of energy. The density of the solid at 35.05 oC is 2.7 g/cm3.
    What is the Specific Heat of the solid in this experiment?

    • @Susanchocoholic32456
      @Susanchocoholic32456 8 лет назад

      The only thing that's not straight forward is how to calculate the mass. However since they've given you both density and volume of the substance it shouldn't be hard enough to plug them into the formula d=m/v which you should rearrange to get m=d(v). After finding the mass simply plug the numbers you've got into the formula E=mc(change in temp.)
      That's about it! :D
      Although you're getting help after a year! 😂 hope this helps!

      @jainilajmera9997 8 лет назад +1

      Specific heat (C) = Heat added x 1/mass x 1/temp. change
      Substituting the values, we get:
      C = 641 x 1/25 x 1/(80.1 - 41.2)
      C = 641 x 1/25 x 1/38.9
      C = 6.59 x 10^-1 J/(g x deg. C)

      @sandercohen5543 6 лет назад

      Bailey W Suppose im a wee bit late, but when calculating the change in temperature, as long as the unit stays consistent, it makes no difference. Coincidentally explained later in the video, the difference between -45 degrees celsius and 15 degrees celsius amounts to a change in temperature of 60 degrees celsius. The same answer applies for -15 to 45 degrees celsius. Thus why kelvin is very easy to work with.
      Hopefully this helps clear up misunderstandings from reading the above comment, which is the sole purpose of this reply.
