Hi, so we are to calculate the specific heat capacity of the metal based on the given information here.
00:07
So we'll just equate the amount of heat lost, heat, this will be lost by metal, then the amount of heat will be equivalent to, or the heat lost by metal will be equivalent to the heat gained by h2o or water.
00:27
Now heat loss will be equivalent to negative mass multiplied by the specific heat capacity and then the change in temperature.
00:34
This is for metal and then we have here positive mass, specific heat capacity, change in temperature, this is for water, h2o.
00:44
Now let's plug in the given information.
00:47
We have 146 .4, this is grams of metal, specific heat capacity of metal is our unknown, and then change in temperature, the final temperature is 17 .4 and then the initial temperature of metal is 75 degrees celsius.
01:05
Mass of water is also 146 .4 grams, specific heat capacity of water is 4 .184 joules per gram degree celsius...
