A piece of stainless steel weighing 1.55 g absorbs 141 J of heat energy when its temperature increases by 178°C. What is the specific heat of stainless steel?

Specific heat of stainless steel is

Explanation:

The quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree Celsius is called the specific heat capacity.

Q = Heat absorbed= 141 Joules

m= mass of substance = 1.55 g

c = specific heat capacity = ?

Initial temperature of the water =

Final temperature of the water =

Change in temperature ,

Putting in the values, we get:

The specific heat of stainless steel is
