Question
A substance is in the form of a solid at 0°C. The amount of heat added to this substance and the temperature of the substance are plotted on the following graph:
If the specific heat capacity of the solid substance is 500 J/kg °G, find from the graph, the mass of the substance.

Solution
From graph heat supplied is 800 joule during change in temperature from 0 to 80°C.
Heat = Mass × Sp. heat capacity × Rise in temperature
800 = m × 500 × 80
m = `1/50` kg
m = 20 g
