Remember: heat lost = heat gained 

When calculating heat loss or gain, remember 

mass*(spec heat cap)*(change in T) 

The unknown loses heat- we don't know the spec heat cap, so we'll call it x.

The water gains. I've omitted the units, but always use when solving problems on your own. 

75*x*(96.5-37.1) = 1150*4.184*(37.1-25) 
<span>
Now it's all set up- use algebra to get x, the spec heat cap of the unk in J/g*degC

I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly. We hope to answer more of your questions and inquiries soon. Have a nice day ahead!

Is ok2 gas a element compound or homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture?

I'm guessing you mean O2 gas? This is an elemental compound. It can't be a mixture because it is composed of only 1 element. Hope I helped!
