Answer:
The specific heat of the metal is 0.466
Explanation:
Calorimetry is the measurement and calculation of the amounts of heat exchanged by a body or a system.
The equation that allows calculating heat exchanges is:
Q = c * m * ΔT
where Q is the heat exchanged by a body of mass m, made up of a specific heat substance c and where ΔT is the temperature variation.
In this case:
- Q= 2330 J
- c= ?
- m= 25 g
- ΔT= 200 °C
Replacing:
2330 J= c*25 g* 200 °C
Solving:
c=0.466
