What's the c for mercury? And is it just Q=mcT?

Prof. Tsybychev said...

c_mercury = 140 J/kg/K
you need to use Delta T rather than T
where Delta T being difference in initial and final temperatures

c for Water is 4.18 J/g*C

I had trouble finding this

Prof. Tsybychev said...

indeed strange was not that in lecture notes today by any chance?

is it a problem that the last post's Cw is in J/g*C and not J/kg/K? This is the only thing that i can think of that I might be doing wrong. I converted the mass to kg and used deltaT from the first answer.

Prof. Tsybychev said...

I suggest convert everything into SI units, i.e. kg, J etc. For Delta T it does not matter since you only use difference. It is not a problem that last post has c_water as 4.18 J/g/C (note that C should be in denominator), but you have to make sure that you use g consistently and it drops out. Do the dimensional analysis in the end to make sure that you got correct units.

How Mr Benjamin Lee service granted me a loan!!!

Hello everyone, I'm Lea Paige Matteo from Zurich Switzerland and want to use this medium to express gratitude to Mr Benjamin service for fulfilling his promise by granting me a loan, I was stuck in a financial situation and needed to refinance and pay my bills as well as start up a Business. I tried seeking for loans from various loan firms both private and corporate organizations but never succeeded and most banks declined my credit request. But as God would have it, I was introduced by a friend named Lisa Rice to this funding service and undergone the due process of obtaining a loan from the company, to my greatest surprise within 5 working days just like my friend Lisa, I was also granted a loan of $216,000.00 So my advice to everyone who desires a loan, "if you must contact any firm with reference to securing a loan online with low interest rate of 1.9% rate and better repayment plans/schedule, please contact this funding service. Besides, he doesn't know that I am doing this but due to the joy in me, I'm so happy and wish to let people know more about this great company who truly gives out loans, it is my prayer that GOD should bless them more as they put smiles on peoples faces.
