Answer:
The specific heat for the metal is 0.48295 J/g°C
Explanation:
Given,
Q = 52 J
mass = 9.70 grams
T₁ = 13°C
T₂ = 24.1°C
The specific heat for the metal can be calculated by using the formula
Q = (mass) (ΔT) (Cp)
ΔT = T₂ - T₁ = 24.1°C - 13°C = 11.1°C
Substituting values,
52 = (9.7 )(11.1)(Cp)
Cp = 0.48295 J/g°C
The specific heat for the metal is 0.48295 J/g°C.
