Answer:
The specific heat for the metal is 0.466 J/g°C.
Explanation:
Given,
Q = 1120 Joules
mass = 12 grams
T₁ = 100°C
T₂ = 300°C
The specific heat for the metal can be calculated by using the formula
Q = (mass) (ΔT) (Cp)
ΔT = T₂ - T₁ = 300°C - 100°C = 200°C
Substituting values,
1120 = (12)(200)(Cp)
Cp = 0.466 J/g°C.
Therefore, specific heat of the metal is 0.466 J/g°C.
