A 50 g sample of an unknown metal is heated to 90.0C. It is placed in a perfectly insulated container along with 100 g of water
at an initial temperature of 20C. After a short time, the temperature of both the metal and water become equal at 25C. The specific heat of water is 4.18 J/gC in this temperature range. What is the specific heat capacity of the metal?
The answer is (3) a homogeneous mixture. The difference between homogeneous and heterogeneous mixture is the degree of the mixture being mixed. Due to the completely dissolved and the dissolving ability of KCl, we can get the answer,
