What is the specific heat capacity of a metal if a 6.90 g sample of the metal has a temperature change of 63.5 deg C while releasing 357 J of heat to the water the hot metal sample was placed in. Note: the units are J/(g.C) here; no entry is required
Added by Jeffrey A.
Step 1
The formula is given by: \[ c = \frac{q}{m \Delta T} \] where: - \( q \) is the heat transferred (in joules), - \( m \) is the mass of the substance (in grams), - \( \Delta T \) is the change in temperature (in degrees Celsius). Show more…

A 149.5-g sample of a metal at 74.9°C is added to 149.5 g H2O at 14.3°C. The temperature of the water rises to 18.3°C. Calculate the specific heat capacity of the metal, assuming that all the heat lost by the metal is gained by the water. The specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 J/°C·g. Specific heat capacity = J/°C·g
