Question

What is the specific heat capacity of Silver?

Answer 1

Hint: Heat is energy transferred to or from a thermodynamic environment by processes other than thermodynamic work or matter transfer. The amount of energy transmitted as heat in a phase is the total amount of energy transferred minus any thermodynamic work performed and any energy present in the matter transferred. It is important for the exact concept of heat to occur along a direction that does not include the transmission of matter.

Complete answer:
The specific heat capacity of a material $ {\mathcal{C}_p} $ in thermodynamics, is the heat capacity of a sample divided by the mass of the sample. Informally, it is the quantity of energy that must be applied to one unit of mass of a material in the form of heat to produce a one-unit rise in temperature. The joule per kelvin per kg, or $ {\text{Jk}}{{\text{g}}^{ - 1}}{{\text{K}}^{ - 1}} $ , is the SI unit for basic heat power. For eg, it takes 4184 joules of heat to increase the temperature of 1 kg of water by 1 K, so water's specific heat power is 4184 $ {\text{Jk}}{{\text{g}}^{ - 1}}{{\text{K}}^{ - 1}} $ .
The following formula can be used to calculate specific heat values: When two materials with varying temperatures come into contact with each other, heat often flows from the warmer material to the cooler material before all materials reach the same temperature. The heat obtained by the initially colder material must match the heat lost by the initially warmer material, according to the law of conservation of energy.
We realise that when a liquid absorbs thermal energy, its temperature rises. When the same amount of heat is applied to identical masses of different substances, the temperature increase is found to be different for each material. Since different substances have different heat capacities, this is the case. As a result, a substance's heat potential is the amount of heat available to increase the temperature of the whole substance by one degree. The heat power of a material is called specific heat capacity or specific heat when the mass of the substance is unity.
The specific heat capacity of Silver is 235 $ {\text{Jk}}{{\text{g}}^{ - 1}}{{\text{K}}^{ - 1}} $.

Note:
The specific heat capacity is given by the formula
 $ {\mathbf{Q}} = {\mathbf{Cm}}\Delta {\mathbf{t}} $
Q = denotes the amount of heat consumed by a body.
m = the body's mass.
 $ \Delta {\mathbf{t}} $ = Temperature Increase
C = A substance's specific heat capacity is determined by the composition of the substance's content.
