Answer:
16 °C
Explanation:
Step 1: Given data
- Provided heat (Q): 811.68 J
- Mass of the metal (m): 95 g
- Specific heat capacity of the metal (c): 0.534 J/g.°C
Step 2: Calculate the temperature change (ΔT) experienced by the metal
We will use the following expression.
Q = c × m × ΔT
ΔT = Q/c × m
ΔT = 811.68 J/(0.534 J/g.°C) × 95 g = 16 °C
The answer is C. because it gives up two electrons.
The heat lost by the metal should be equal to the heat
gained by the water. We know that the heat capacity of water is simply 4.186 J
/ g °C. Therefore:
100 g * 4.186 J / g °C * (31°C – 25.1°C) = 28.2 g * Cp *
(95.2°C - 31°C)
<span>Cp = 1.36 J / g °C</span>
