sending signals to muscles, causing them to contract, or to glands, causing. them to produce secretions. Neurons, or nerve cells, carry out the functions of the nervous system by. conducting nerve impulses.
Best Answer: Specific Heat is the energy required to raise EACH gram of a material by 1C. This is expressed in J/gC. The temperature change is 82.1C - 30.7C = 51.4C. The Aluminum weighs, not 1g, but 625g. m x c x Î´T = Q 29.5g x 0.45J/g/Â°C x (40 - 25Â°C) Î´T = 199.125 Joules (= 0.199kJ) of heat absorbed. (you can say 0.200kJ) If 8.4kJ was used as in your initial statement, to raise the temp. by 5Â°C, the mass of iron must have been much greater than 29.5g. or, 8.4kJ is an error. 29.5 x 0.45 x 5 = 66.4 kJ.
Examples. 1  Calculate the amount of heat needed to increase the temperature of 250g of water from 20oC to 56oC. q = m x Cg x (Tf - Ti) m = 250g. 2  Calculate the specific heat capacity of copper given that 204.75 J of energy raises the temperature of 15g of copper from 25o to 60o. q = m x Cg x (Tf - Ti)
