When a substance absorbs thermal energy, it partitions some as potential and some as kinetic energy. Specific heat is an expression related to the quantity of heat a substance stores as potential energy; the remainder is absorbed as kinetic which causes the temperature to increase - recall that temperature is a measure of average kinetic energy. 
When specific heat is low, most of the energy is partitioned as kinetic energy and the substance will experience the greatest temperature change. 

So rather than calculating the change in temperature, we can simply inspect the specific heats. The one with the lowest will experience the greatest temperature change. We could also compare the specific heats: Al = .897/.385 ==> 2.3, Fe = .452/.385 = 1.2, Cu = .385/.385 = 1. We can expect Copper's temperature change to be 2.3 times larger than Aluminum's and 1.2 times larger than Iron's.

A student places a 100.0°C piece of metal that weighs 85.5 g into 122 mL of 16.0°C water. If the final temperature is 20.2°C, wh
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

The specific heat of the metal is 0.314 J/g°C

Explanation:

Step 1: data given

Temperature of the piece of metal = 100.0 °C

Mass of the metal = 85.5 grams

Volume of water = 122 mL = 122 grams

Temperature of water = 16.0 °C

The final temperature of water = 20.2 °C

The specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

Step 2: Calculate the specific heat of metal

Heat gained= heat lost

Qgained = - Qlost

Qwater = -Qmetal

Q = m*c* ΔT

m(metal)*c(metal)*ΔT(metal) = -m(water)*c(water)*ΔT(water)

⇒m(metal) = mass of metal = 85.5 grams

⇒c(metal) = the specific heat of metal = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ΔT(metal) = the change of temperature of metal = T2 - T1 = 20.2 - 100 °C =  -79.8 °C

⇒m(water) = the mass of water = 122 grams

⇒c(water) = the specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

⇒ΔT(water) = the change of temperature of metal = T2 - T1 = 20.2 - 16.0 °C =  4.2 °C

85.5 *c(metal) * -79.8 = -122 * 4.184 * 4.2

c(metal) * (-6822.9) = -2143.9

c(metal) = 0.314 J/g°C

The specific heat of the metal is 0.314 J/g°C

True or false
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

True.

But it only changes in physical change.

How?

Explanation:

The chemical reaction produces a new substance with new and different physical and chemical properties. Matter is never destroyed or created in chemical reactions. The particles of one substance are rearranged to form a new substance.

In a physical change, a substance's physical properties may change.

A chemical change is a permanent change. A Physical change affects only physical properties i.e. shape, size, etc. ... Some examples of physical change are freezing of water, melting of wax, boiling of water, etc. A few examples of chemical change are digestion of food, burning of coal, rusting, etc.

Hope this helps!
