Question 18 • Liberty - Physics A

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.

Answer
A
12 g
B
15 g
C
18 g
D
30 g

Explanation

Use the heat equation q = mcΔT, where ΔT = 30.0°C − 10.0°C = 20.0°C. Solving for mass gives m = 350 J ÷ (1.2 J/g°C × 20.0°C) ≈ 14.6 g, which rounds to 15 g. The correct choice is B, 15 g.
