Question
The element hydrogen has the highest specific heat of all elements. At a temperature of 25°C, hydrogen’s specific heat capacity is 14300J/(kg K). If the temperature of a .34kg sample of hydrogen is to be raised by 25 K, how much heat will have to be transferred to the hydrogen?

Answer:
121550 J
Explanation:
Parameters given:
Mass, m = 0.34kg
Specific heat capacity, c = 14300 J/kgK
Change in temperature, ΔT = 25K
Heat gained/lost by an object is given as:
Q = mcΔT
Since ΔT is positive in this case and also because we’re told that heat was transferred to the hydrogen sample, the hydrogen sample gained heat. Therefore, Q:
Q = 0.34 * 14300 * 25
Q = 121550J or 121.55 kJ
