A 500 gram cube of lead is heated from 25 °C to 75 °C. How much energy was required to heat the lead? The specific heat of lead is 0.129 J/g°C.
3225 J
Water's polarity contributes to a high specific heat because
Cohesion between water molecules makes it harder to heat up
Greenhouse gases are important because
They trap heat within the atmosphere, making the Earth liveable
