A student places 1.38g of unknown metal at 99.6C into 60.50g of water at 22.1C. The entire system reaches a uniform temperature at 31.6C. Calculate the specific heat of the metal

Respuesta :

Explanation:

Heat energy lost by metal = Heat energy gained by water.

(0.00138kg) * c * (99.6-31.6) = (0.006050kg) * 4.148 * (31.6-22.1)

c = 2.541J/kg°C
