Answer: c = 0.39 cal/g°C or

1.63 J/g°C

Explanation: To find the specific heat of the metal we will use the formula of heat which is Q= mc∆T.

We will derive for c, c = Q / m∆T

25.0 cal/ 4.0 g ( 36°C - 20°C)

= 0.39 cal / g°C

Or we can convert calories to joules.

0.39 cal x 4.184 J/ 1 cal

= 1.63 J /g°C

A patient arrives in the emergency with a burn caused by steam. Calculate the heat that released when 17.7 g of steam
MaRussiya [10]

The steam releases 39.9 kJ when it condenses..

The steam condenses and transfers its energy to the skin.

<em>q = m</em>Δ<em>H</em>_cond = 17.7 g × (-2257 J/1 g) = -39 900 kJ = -39.9 kJ

The negative sign shows that the steam is releasing energy
