A chunk of silver has a heat capacity if 42.8 j/*c. If the silver has a mass of 181g, calculate the specific heat of sliver.

From the given question, we know

Heat capacity of the chunk of silver = 42.8 J/c

Mass of the silver = 181 g

Now we also know the formula for determining the specific heat of silver and that is

Specific heat (C) = heat capacity / mass

= (42.8/181) J/gC

= 0.24 J/gC

So the specific heat of the silver is 0.24 J/gC.

With the given known facts, it is easily possible to find out the specific gravity of any substance.
