Answer:

1.23 j/g. °C

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of metal = 35.0 g

Initial temperature = 21 °C

Final temperature = 52°C

Amount of heat absorbed = 320 cal  (320 ×4.184 = 1338.88 j)

Specific heat capacity of metal = ?

Solution:

Specific heat capacity:

It is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of substance by one degree.

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

ΔT = 52°C -  21 °C

ΔT = 31°C

1338.88 j= 35 g ×c× 31°C

1338.88 j= 1085 g.°C ×c

1338.88 j/1085 g.°C = c

1.23 j/g. °C = c
