Specific Heat (Easy question)

In summary, the specific heat of ice at a specific temperature in the interval of [-273.15,-10) and (10,0] (in degrees Celsius) is not a simple calculation and is dependent on the temperature. This can be seen in the table in the Appendix and can be calculated using an integral. More information on how to calculate it can be found at the provided link.

The portion highlighted in the paint document, is the only the specific heat for ice at -10 deg celc?

What is the specific heat of ice in the interval of [-273.15,-10) and (10,0] (In deg celc) ??

Sorry I should make my self more clear. What is the specific heat of ice at a temperature T in that interval
[-273.15,-10) and (10,0] (T is In deg celc) .

But it's dependent of the temperature

[itex]C_p(ice,\,\,-15^o\,C) \neq C_p(ice,\,\,-25^o\,C)\neq C_p(ice,\,\,-35^o\,C) [/itex]
etc

Have you looked at the bottom table in the Appendix...

to calculate exactly see here:

maybe I have misunderstood you...

The specific heat of a substance is the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of one unit of mass by one degree. The specific heat of ice at -10 degrees Celsius is approximately 2.05 J/g°C. However, the highlighted portion in the document only provides the specific heat for ice at -10 degrees Celsius. To determine the specific heat of ice in the given intervals, we would need to use the specific heat formula and the specific heat values at each temperature interval. It is important to note that the specific heat of a substance can vary at different temperatures, so it is necessary to have specific values for each temperature range.
 

What is specific heat and how is it measured?

Specific heat is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance by one degree Celsius. It is measured in units of joules per gram per degree Celsius (J/g°C).

What factors affect the specific heat of a substance?

The specific heat of a substance is affected by its mass, temperature, and molecular structure. Substances with more complex molecular structures tend to have higher specific heats.

How is specific heat used in everyday life?

Specific heat is used in a variety of ways in everyday life. It is used in cooking to determine the ideal cooking time and temperature for different foods. It is also used in industries such as HVAC and refrigeration to design efficient heating and cooling systems.

What is the difference between specific heat and heat capacity?

Specific heat and heat capacity are closely related but have slightly different meanings. Specific heat refers to the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance by one degree Celsius, while heat capacity refers to the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of an entire sample of a substance by one degree Celsius.

Why is water's specific heat important?

Water's specific heat is important because it is significantly higher than most other substances. This means that water can absorb a lot of heat without a significant increase in temperature, making it a stable environment for living organisms. It also allows water to act as a natural buffer, regulating the temperature of the Earth's oceans and maintaining a relatively stable climate.
