The table shows the specific heat capacities of various substances. How much energy is required to raise the temperature of 5g of air by 10°C? Use the table below to help you.

Q = 50.25 [J]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the following equation that relates the temperature change with the mass and with the specific heat.

Q = m*Cp*(DT)

where:

Q = energy in form of heat [J]

m = mass = 5 [g] = 0.005 [kg]

Cp = specific heat = 1005 [J/kg*°C]

DT = temperature change = 10 [°C]

Now replacing:

Q = 0.005*1005*10

Q = 50.25 [J]

a.) travels faster in solids because the particles are closer together.

air is a gas water is a liquid

force required to detach it is given by

charges are taken to be fundamental charge

now we have

so above is the minimum distance at which it will detach
