The question asks average kinetic energy. So it is only related with the temperature. The higher temperature is, the higher kinetic energy is. So the answer is (4).
Given mass of Scandium = 50.0 g
Increase in temperature of the metal when heated =
Heat absorbed by Scandium =
The equation showing the relationship between heat, mass, specific heat and temperature change:
Where Q is heat =
m is mass = 50.0 g
ΔT =
On plugging in the values and solving for C(specific heat) we get,
=50.0g(C)()
C = 0.491
Specific heat of the metal = 0.491
