Answer:
The specific heat of the sample unknown metal is approximately 0.45 J/g °C.
General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Thermodynamics</u>
Specific Heat Formula:
- <em>m</em> is mass (g)
- <em>c</em> is specific heat capacity (J/g °C)
- Δ<em>T</em> is the change in temperature
Explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
<em>Identify variables.</em>
<em>m</em> = 112 g
Δ<em>T</em> = 20.0 °C
<em>q</em> = 1004 J
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><u><em>c</em></u>
- Substitute in variables [Specific Heat Formula]:
- Simplify:
- Isolate <em>c</em>:
- Round [Sig Figs]:
∴ specific heat capacity <em>c</em> is equal to around 0.45 J/g °C.
