Solution:
According to the question,
Heat energy supplied is 1300 J
and the mass of lead is 0.5 kg
Also the change in temperature is
(40 – 20)0 C = 200 C
Expression for specific heat capacity of lead is ==> C = △Q / m△T
Upon substituting values, we get
C = 1300 / 0.5 × 20 = 130 J kg-1 K-1
Therefore, the specific heat capacity of lead is 130 J kg-1 K-1.
