It requires 350 joules to raise a certain amount of a substance from 10.0°C to 30.0°C. The specific heat of the substance is 1.2 J/g°C. What is the mass of the substance? 12 g 15 g 18 g 30 g

15 g.

Step-by-step explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Heat required (Q) = 350 J

Initial temperature (T1) = 10.0 °C

Final temperature (T2) = 30.0 °C

Specific heat capacity (C) = 1.2 J/g°C

Mass (M) =..?

Next, we shall determine the change in temperature.

This is illustrated below:

Initial temperature (T1) = 10.0 °C

Final temperature (T2) = 30.0 °C

Change in temperature (ΔT) =..?

Change in temperature (ΔT) = T2 – T1

Change in temperature (ΔT) = 30 – 10

Change in temperature (ΔT) = 20 °C

Finally, we shall determine the mass of the substance as follow:

Heat required (Q) = 350 J

Specific heat capacity (C) = 1.2 J/g°C

Change in temperature (ΔT) = 20 °C

Mass (M) =.?

Q = MCΔT

350 = M x 1.2 x 20

Divide both side by 1.2 x 20

M = 350 / (1.2 x 20)

M = 14.5 ≈ 15 g

Therefore, the mass of the substance is

15 g.

look at the picture.

y-intercept for the function on a picture is 4 → point (0, 4).

y-intercept for the function

is for x = 0. substitute:

y-intercept is 8 → point (0, 8).
