A 30.0-g piece of metal at 203oC is dropped into 400.0 g of water at 25.0 oC. The water temperature rises to 29.0 oC. Calculate

the specific heat of the metal (J/goC). Assume that all of the heat lost by the metal is transferred to the water and no heat is lost to the surroundings.

The specific heat of the metal is 2.4733 J/g°C.

Given the following data:

  • Initial temperature of water = 25.0°C
  • Final temperature of water = 29.0°C
  • Mass of water = 400.0 g
  • Mass of metal = 30.0 g
  • Temperature of metal = 203.0°C

We know that the specific heat capacity of water is 4.184 J/g°C.

To find the specific heat of the metal (J/g°C):

Heat lost by metal = Heat gained by water.

Q_{metal} = Q_{water}

Mathematically, heat capacity or quantity of heat is given by the formula;

Q = mc\theta

<u>Where:</u>

  • Q is the heat capacity or quantity of heat.
  • m is the mass of an object.
  • c represents the specific heat capacity.
  • ∅ represents the change in temperature.

Substituting the values into the formula, we have:

30(203)c = 400(4.184)(29 \; -\; 20)\\\\6090c = 1673.6(9)\\\\6090c = 15062.4\\\\c = \frac{15062.4}{6090}

Specific heat capacity of metal, c = 2.4733 J/g°C

Therefore, the specific heat of the metal is 2.4733 J/g°C.
