Answer:

The specific heat of the metal is 0.314 J/g°C

Explanation:

Step 1: data given

Temperature of the piece of metal = 100.0 °C

Mass of the metal = 85.5 grams

Volume of water = 122 mL = 122 grams

Temperature of water = 16.0 °C

The final temperature of water = 20.2 °C

The specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

Step 2: Calculate the specific heat of metal

Heat gained= heat lost

Qgained = - Qlost

Qwater = -Qmetal

Q = m*c* ΔT

m(metal)*c(metal)*ΔT(metal) = -m(water)*c(water)*ΔT(water)

⇒m(metal) = mass of metal = 85.5 grams

⇒c(metal) = the specific heat of metal = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ΔT(metal) = the change of temperature of metal = T2 - T1 = 20.2 - 100 °C =  -79.8 °C

⇒m(water) = the mass of water = 122 grams

⇒c(water) = the specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

⇒ΔT(water) = the change of temperature of metal = T2 - T1 = 20.2 - 16.0 °C =  4.2 °C

85.5 *c(metal) * -79.8 = -122 * 4.184 * 4.2

c(metal) * (-6822.9) = -2143.9

c(metal) = 0.314 J/g°C

The specific heat of the metal is 0.314 J/g°C

Why can some metals be extracted from compounds by heating with carbon and why can some not
pentagon [3]

Answer:

Some metals can be extracted from compounds by heating with carbon atom because they are less reactive than carbon and some metals cannot be extracted because they are more reactive than carbon atom.

Explanation: If the metal is less reactive than carbon atom so the carbon atoms make bond with oxide or other atom present with metal and the metal is free from that oxide or that element. But if the reactivity of metal is higher than carbon is unable to remove the oxide or element.
