Question

A piece of metal weighing 59.047 g was heated to 100.0 °C and then put into 100.0 mL of water (initially at 23.7 °C). The metal and water were allowed to come to an equilibrium temperature, determined to be 27.8 °C. Assuming no heat lost to the environment, calculate the specific heat of the metal. (Hint: First calculate the heat absorbed by the water, then use this value for "Q" to determine the specific heat of the metal in a second calculation).

Step 1

To calculate the heat (Q) absorbed by the water, we use the formula: \[ Q = mc\Delta T \] where: - \( m \) is the mass of the water, - \( c \) is the specific heat capacity of water (4.186 J/g°C), - \( \Delta T \) is the change in temperature. Given that the Show more…
