Answer : The specific heat of fools gold is [tex]0.21185J/g^oC[/tex].
Solution : Given,
Molar specific heat of fools gold = [tex]25.418J/mol^oC[/tex]
Formula weight of fools gold = 119.98 g/mole
Formula used :
Molar specific heat substance = Specific heat of substance × Formula weight of substance
Now we have to calculate the specific heat of fools gold.
[tex]\text{ Specific heat of fools gold}=\frac{\text{ Molar specific heat of fools gold}}{\text{ Formula weight of fools gold}}[/tex]
Now put all the given values in this formula, we get
[tex]\text{ Specific heat of fools gold}=\frac{25.418J/mol^oC}{119.98g/mole}=0.21185J/g^oC[/tex]
Therefore, the specific heat of fools gold is [tex]0.21185J/g^oC[/tex].
