The heat provided by the heater is given by the equation:
Q=Power×Time
Substituting the given values:
Q=60W×100s=6000J
The heat capacity (C) is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree. It is given by the equation:
C=Q/ΔT
Substituting the given values:
C=6000J/5°C=1200J/K
So, the heat capacity of the given gas is approximately 1200 J/K.
