Gasoline is predominantly octane, C8H18. Something like soap would be a great homogenizer. Soap is composed of a long hydrocarbon chain with a tiny, highly polar tip on one end. Usually, the soap is the anion of a salt, NaX. This allows the polar end of the soap to stick to water, while the nonpolar end sticks to the oil.
Given mass of Scandium = 50.0 g
Increase in temperature of the metal when heated =
Heat absorbed by Scandium =
The equation showing the relationship between heat, mass, specific heat and temperature change:
Where Q is heat =
m is mass = 50.0 g
ΔT =
On plugging in the values and solving for C(specific heat) we get,
=50.0g(C)(
)
C = 0.491
Specific heat of the metal = 0.491
