A piece of silver with a mass 437 g has a heat capacity of 103.6 J/°C. What is the specific heat of silver?

Specific heat of silver is 0.237 J/g°C

Explanation:

To define the heat capacity (c) we have to know that it depends on the amount of mass.

If our system consists of a single substance, we talk about specific heat (C) from the relationship:

c = C. m

103.6 J/°C = C. 437 g

103.6 J/°C / 437 g = C

C = 0.237 J/g°C
