What is the specific heat of a 85.01 g piece of an unknown metal that exhibits a 45.2°C temperature change upon absorbing 1870 J of heat?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]0.48~\frac{J}{g~^{\circ}C}[/tex]

Explanation:

In this question, we have to remember the relationship between Q (heat) and the specific heat (Cp) the change in temperature (ΔT), and the mass (m).

[tex]Q=m*Cp*ΔT[/tex]

The next step is to identify what values we have:

[tex]Q~=~1870~J[/tex]

[tex]m~=~85.01~g[/tex]

[tex]ΔT~=~45.2~^{\circ}C[/tex]

[tex]Cp~=~X[/tex]

Now, we can plug the values and solve for "Cp":

[tex]1870~J=~85.01~g~*Cp*45.2~^{\circ}C[/tex]

[tex]Cp=\frac{1870~J}{85.01~g~*45.2~^{\circ}C}[/tex]

[tex]Cp=0.48~\frac{J}{g~^{\circ}C}[/tex]

The unknow metal it has a specific value of [tex]0.48~\frac{J}{g~^{\circ}C}[/tex]

I hope it helps!
