QuestionCalculate the specific heat capacity of a plece of wood if 1500.0 g of the wood absorbs 67,500 joules of heat, and its temperature changes from 32C32^{\circ} \mathrm{C} to 57C57^{\circ} \mathrm{C}.

Studdy Solution
Solve for the specific heat capacity c c :
c=67,500J1500.0g×25C c = \frac{67,500 \, \text{J}}{1500.0 \, \text{g} \times 25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}} =67,50037,500 = \frac{67,500}{37,500} =1.8J/gC = 1.8 \, \text{J/g}^{\circ}\mathrm{C}
The specific heat capacity of the wood is:
1.8J/gC \boxed{1.8 \, \text{J/g}^{\circ}\mathrm{C}}
