My remarkable padlet by Tameka Farrell https://padlet.com/tameka_farrell/4sewq7uzol34s06k Made with magic en-us 2021-01-14 19:25:40 UTC 2025-11-12 06:30:10 UTC hello@padlet.com Raghav Q1 https://padlet.com/tameka_farrell/4sewq7uzol34s06k/wish/1088919229 for one of the questions, it asked us to calculate the specific heat of water from our graph, and to check my answer I googled the actual specific heat of water and my answer was nearly double the actual specific heat.
My calculations were:

925g * specific heat = 7430

specific heat = 7430/925 = 8.032 J/g*C

7430 is the intercept of my graph with energy vs temperature
7.43e+3 J/C

Edit: my units in theory should come out to J/g * C because i multiplied the slope which had units of J/C by grams. Also i followed the exact directions the question gave me so idk where i went wrong. ]]> 2021-01-14 19:27:17 UTC https://padlet.com/tameka_farrell/4sewq7uzol34s06k/wish/1088919229 How are your units looking? The slope comes out to be J/deg C but specific heat should be J/gx deg C tameka_farrell https://padlet.com/tameka_farrell/4sewq7uzol34s06k/wish/1089149526 2021-01-14 20:22:37 UTC https://padlet.com/tameka_farrell/4sewq7uzol34s06k/wish/1089149526 https://padlet.com/tameka_farrell/4sewq7uzol34s06k/wish/1089625225 The units r fine. I still dont know what the problem was]]> 2021-01-14 23:58:12 UTC https://padlet.com/tameka_farrell/4sewq7uzol34s06k/wish/1089625225
