A 150.0 g sample of a metal at 47.3°C is added to 150.0 g of H2O at 12.0°C. The temperature of the water rises to 15.7°C. Calculate the specific heat capacity of the metal assuming that all the heat lost by the metal is gained by the water.
Added by Nerea B.
Step 1
We know that the heat gained by the water is equal to the heat lost by the metal. So, we can write the equation: $$Q_{water} = Q_{metal}$$ Show more…
