what is the spec heat capacity of bronze?? pls tell me..i can't find on the net and it's the only thing i need to solve my homewrk problem..
Mapes said:1) There is no single "bronze"; you need to be more specific.
The specific heat capacity of bronze is approximately 0.377 J/g°C. This means that it takes 0.377 joules of energy to raise the temperature of 1 gram of bronze by 1 degree Celsius.
The specific heat capacity of bronze is relatively low compared to other metals. For example, the specific heat capacity of copper is 0.385 J/g°C, and the specific heat capacity of iron is 0.449 J/g°C.
The spec heat capacity of bronze can be affected by factors such as its composition, temperature, and phase (solid, liquid, or gas). The presence of impurities can also affect its specific heat capacity.
The spec heat capacity of bronze can be measured using a calorimeter, which is a device that measures the heat transfer between a substance and its surroundings. The change in temperature of the bronze is used to calculate its specific heat capacity using the equation Q = mcΔT, where Q is the heat transferred, m is the mass of the bronze, c is the specific heat capacity, and ΔT is the change in temperature.
The specific heat capacity of bronze is important because it helps us understand how much energy is required to change the temperature of the metal. This information is useful in a variety of applications, such as in designing heating and cooling systems, determining the melting and boiling points of bronze, and predicting how it will behave in different environments.
