A 63.5 g sample of an unidentified metal absorbs 355 ) of heat when its temperature changes
1 answer:
0.208 is the specific heat capacity of the metal.
Explanation:
Given:
mass (m) = 63.5 grams 0R 0.0635 kg
Heat absorbed (q) = 355 Joules
Δ T (change in temperature) = 4.56 degrees or 273.15+4.56 = 268.59 K
cp (specific heat capacity) = ?
the formula used for heat absorbed and to calculate specific heat capacity of a substance will be calculated by using the equation:
q = mc Δ T
c =
c =
= 0.208 J/gm K
specific heat capacity of 0.208 J/gm K
The specific heat capacity is defined as the heat required to raise the temperature of a substance which is 1 gram. The temperature is in Kelvin and energy required is in joules.

Answer: negative , from , to , exothermic
Explanation:
An endothermic reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which energy is absorbed from the surrounding. The temperature of the surrounding decreases.
An Exothermic reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which energy is released into the surrounding. The temperature of the surrounding increases.
Endothermic reactions are those in which heat is absorbed by the system from the surroundings and exothermic reactions are those in which heat is released by the system to the surroundings. for Endothermic reaction is positive and
As on dissolution of salt, the temperature of water increases, the heat has been released from system into surroundings and thus is negative.
