Answer:
0.752 J/g*K
Explanation:
The heat lost by the alloy (which is negative) must be equal to the heat gained by the water and the coffee cup:
-Qa = Qw + Qc
-ma*ca*ΔTa = mw*cw*ΔTw + C*ΔTc
Where, m is the mass, c is the specific heat capacity, C is the heat capacity of the coffee cup, ΔT is the change in temperature, a represents the alloy, and w the water.
The coffee cup has initial temperature equal to the water, then:
-30.5*ca*(31.1 - 95.0) = 49.3*4.184*(31.1 - 24.3) + 9.2*(31.1 - 24.3)
1948.95ca = 1465.20
ca = 0.752 J/g*K
<span>What all chemical reactions have in common is that energy is released in various forms. Sometimes it's heat or light when there's an explosion, or theres gas and odors or a change in color, or sometimes solids are formed as a deposit. This all show that a reaction occurred and are used as proof.</span>
