The correct answer is 8.4 J⋅kg−1⋅K−1

Explanation :

  • The mass of the metal and water are  given.
  • The initial temperature and final temperature are given.
  • We need to calculate the Specific heat of metal .

 

We know that

Qi = Qf  

Therefore ,m1c1 ΔT = m2c2ΔT

Where m1 is 25g and m2 is 200g

so , 25c1 = (200+10)(22-2)

      25c1 = 420

Therefore , c1 = 210/25

c1 = 16.8J⋅kg−1⋅K−1

Hence the specific heat of metal is 16.8 J⋅kg−1⋅K−1
