Answer:
17.3 g
Explanation:
Given the following data;
- Quantity of heat, Q = 0.507 J
- Temperature = 0.007°C
- Specific heat capacity of water = 4.2 J/g°C
Mathematically, Heat capacity is given by the formula;
[tex] Q = MCT [/tex]
Where;
- Q represents the heat capacity or quantity of heat.
- M represents the mass of an object.
- C represents the specific heat capacity of water.
- T represents the temperature.
Making "M" the subject of formula, we have;
[tex] M = \frac {Q}{CT} [/tex]
Substituting the values into the formula, we have;
[tex] M = \frac {0.507}{4.2*0.007} [/tex]
[tex] M = \frac {0.507}{0.0294} [/tex]
Mass, m = 17.3 grams
