A chunk of silver has a heat capacity of 42.8j and a mass of 181g calculate the specific heat of silver.

The specific heat of silver is calculated as below

Q (heat) = M (mass) xC (specific heat capacity)

Q = 42.8 j/c

M=181 g

C=?

by making C the subject of the formula

C = Q/M

C = 42.8 j/c/181 g = 0.236j/g/c
