Answer:
S(metal) = 0.66J/g°C
Explanation:
We can find specific heat of a material, S, using the equation:
q = m*S*ΔT
<em>Where q is change in heat, m is the mass of the substance, S specific heat and ΔT change in temperature.</em>
The heat given by the metal is equal to the heat that water absorbs, that is:
m(Metal)*S(metal)*ΔT(Metal) = m(Water)*S(water)*ΔT(water)
<em>Where:</em>
m(Metal) = 76.0g
S(metal) = ?
ΔT(Metal) = 96.0°C-31.0°C = 65.0°C
m(Water) = 120.0g
S(water) = 4.184J/g°C
ΔT(water) = 31.0°C-24.5°C = 6.5°C
Replacing:
76.0g*S(metal)*65.0°C = 120.0g*4.184J/g°C*6.5°C
S(metal) = 0.66J/g°C

The law of conservation applies because the energy is not been created or destroyed. The energy that the metal gives is absorbed by the water.
Answer:
89°C
Explanation:
Combined Gas Law (P₁V₁)/T₁ = (P₂V₂)/T₂
(1.25 atm)(450 mL)/(65°C) = (0.89 atm)(865 mL)/T₂
8.653846154 = 769.85/T₂
T₂ = 769.85/8.653846154
T₂ = 88.96044444 = 89°C
