What is missing from the following equation?Change in thermal energy = specific heat capacity x mass x ____ ?
|
temperature
|
|
power
|
|
pressure
|
|
change in temperature
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The change in temperature is given by T=Tf−Ti, where Tf is the final temperature and Ti is the initial temperature. Every substance has a characteristic specific heat, which is reported in units of cal/g•°C or cal/g•K, depending on the units used to express T.
Detailed explanation-2: -Q = m•C•T where Q is the quantity of heat transferred to or from the object, m is the mass of the object, C is the specific heat capacity of the material the object is composed of, and T is the resulting temperature change of the object.
