(b) Explain the significance of the equation.
4. a) Define heat capacity and state its unit.
(b) List two effects of heat on a substance.
(c) Explain how a tightly fitted glass stopper could be removed from a reagent bottle.
(d) A quantity of pepper soup of mass 800 g poured into a plastic container with a tight-fitting lid has a temperature of 30°C. The container is then placed in a microwave oven, rated 1200 W and operated for 3 minutes.
(i) Calculate the final temperature attained by the soup. (Assuming no heat losses).
