Answer :
So it takes, 2.44 Joules of energy, to change 1 gram of ethanol by 1 degree Celsius.
Answer:
The specific heat capacity means the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of an element/compound by 1 degree Celsius.
Q = c m ΔT
when, m = 1 g
ΔT = 1°C
⇒Q = c ( specific heat )
Thus, specific heat of Ethanol 2.44 J/g °C means that 2.44 joules of heat energy is required to raise its temperature by 1 degree Celsius.
