Answer:

0.0702J/g°C the specific heat capacity of the metal.

Explanation:m

$Q=m\times c\times \Delta T=m\times c\times (T_{2}-T_{1})$

where,

Q = heat absorbed by metal = 186.75 J

$m_1$ = Mass of metal= 19 g

$T_1$ = Initial temperature of metal = $35^oC$

$T_2$ =Final temperature of metal = $175^oC$

$c$ = specific heat of metal= ?

$186.75 J=19 g\times c\times (175^oC-35^oC)$

$c=\frac{186.75 J}{19 g\times (175^oC-35^oC)}$

$c=0.0702J/g^oC$

0.0702J/g°C the specific heat capacity of the metal.
