Questions and Answers

Which one of these is the correct equation to calculate the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of a substance in a batch heating or cooling process?

  • $Q/t = MC\Delta T$
  • $Q/t = mass flow rate \times specific heat \times temp change$
  • $Q = mass \times average specific heat \times temp change$
  • $Q = MC\Delta T$ (correct)

Which one of these is the correct definition of specific heat at constant pressure?

  • The amount of heat required to raise unit mass by unit temperature rise under constant pressure
  • The amount of heat required to raise unit mass by unit temperature rise under constant volume
  • The amount of heat required to raise unit mass by unit temperature rise at constant pressure (correct)
  • The amount of heat required to raise unit mass by unit temperature rise at constant volume

Which one of these is the correct equation to calculate specific heat based on the composition of a substance?

  • $Cv = \sum(X_i \cdot Cv_i)$
  • $Cp = \sum(X_i \cdot Cp_i)$ (correct)
  • $Cp = \sum(X_i \cdot Cv_i)$
  • $Cv = \sum(X_i \cdot Cp_i)$
