A metal sample weighing 129.00 grams and at a temperature of 97.8 degrees Celsius was placed in 45.00 grams of water in a calori

meter at 20.4 degrees Celsius. At equilibrium the temperature of the water and metal was 39.6 degrees Celsius. Calculate the specific heat of the metal. The specific heat of the water is 4.184 J/g/C

Answer : The specific heat of metal is 0.481J/g^oC.

Explanation :

In this problem we assumed that heat given by the hot body is equal to the heat taken by the cold body.

q_1=-q_2

m_1\times c_1\times (T_f-T_1)=-m_2\times c_2\times (T_f-T_2)

where,

c_1 = specific heat of metal = ?

c_2 = specific heat of water = 4.184J/g^oC

m_1 = mass of metal = 129.00 g

m_2 = mass of water = 45.00 g

T_f = final temperature = 39.6^oC

T_1 = initial temperature of metal = 97.8^oC

T_2 = initial temperature of water = 20.4^oC

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get

129.00g\times c_1\times (39.6-97.8)^oC=-45.00g\times 4.184J/g^oC\times (39.6-20.4)^oC

c_1=0.481J/g^oC

Therefore, the specific heat of metal is 0.481J/g^oC.

Toichiometry time! Remember to look at the equation for your molar ratios in other problems.
31.75 g Cu | 1 mol Cu | 2 mol Ag | 107.9 g Ag         6851.65⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻   →   ⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻  = 107.9 g Ag       ∅        | 63.5 g Cu | 1 mol Cu | 1 mol Ag              63.5

There's also a shorter way to do this: Notice the molar ratio from Cu to Ag, which is 1:2. When you plug in 31.75 into your molar mass for Cu, it equals 1/2 mol. That also means that you have 1 mol Ag because of the ratio, qhich you can then plug into your molar mass, getting 107.9 as well.
