Find the specific ehat capacity of ice if 12 kg of ice absorbs 50.4 kJ of heat to raise its temperature from `-20^(@)C" to "0^(@)C`.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the specific heat capacity of ice, we can use the formula: \[ Q = mc\Delta T \] Where: - \( Q \) is the amount of heat absorbed (in joules), - \( m \) is the mass of the substance (in kg), - \( c \) is the specific heat capacity (in J/kg°C), ...
