When 435 joule of heat is added to 3.4 g olive oil at 21C the temperature increases 85C what specific capacity oil?

To calculate the specific heat capacity oil, we can use the formula:

Q=mc(Tf - Ti)

Where:

- Q is the amount of heat energy added = 435 J

- m is the mass of oil = 3.4g = 0.0034 kg

- Tf is the final temperature of oil = 85 + 273 = 358K

- Ti is the initial temperature of oil = 21 + 273 = 294K

c=?

Substituting these values into the formula, we get:

435J = (0.0034) kg * c*(358 -294)

Solving for c, we get:

c= 1989 J/ (Kg.K)

Therefore the specific heat capacity of olive oil is approximately 1989 J/(Kg.K).
