An unknown piece of metal absorbs 1350 J of heat as 55.0 g of the metal heats up from 20.0 oC to 47.0 oC

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]C=0.91\frac{J}{g\°C}[/tex]

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given information, it is possible to recall the equation to calculate the heat, Q, in these calorimetry problems as shown below:

[tex]Q=mC(T_f-T_i)[/tex]

Thus, given the absorbed heat, mass and temperatures, we can easily calculate the specific heat of the metal as shown below:

[tex]C=\frac{Q}{m(T_f-T_i)}[/tex]

Then, by plugging in we obtain:

[tex]C=\frac{1350J}{55.0g(47.0\°C-20.0\°C)} \\\\C=0.91\frac{J}{g\°C}[/tex]
