Question
The specific heat of steam is 2,020 J/kg K in SI units. What is the value of the specific heat of steam in cal/g °C?
Solution
To convert the specific heat from J/kg K to cal/g °C, we need to know the conversion factors.
1 cal = 4.184 J 1 kg = 1000 g 1 K = 1 °C
So, the specific heat of steam in cal/g °C is calculated as follows:
(2,020 J/kg K) * (1 cal/4.184 J) * (1 kg/1000 g) * (1 K/1 °C)
= 0.483 cal/g °C
So, the specific heat of steam is 0.483 cal/g °C.
