Sodium metal is sometimes used as a cooling agent in heat exchange units because of its relatively high molar heat capacity of 28.2 J/mol°C. What is the specific heat of sodium in J/g°C?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The specific heat of sodium is 1,23J/g°C

Explanation:

Using the atomic weight of sodium (23g/mol) and the atomic weight definition, we have that each mole of the substance has 23 grams of sodium.

starting from this, we use the atomic weight of sodium to convert the units from J / mol ° C to J / g ° C

[tex]28,2 \frac{J}{mol C} x \frac{1mol}{23g} = 1,23 J/g C[/tex]
