Question
A 44.0 g sample of unknown metal at 99.0°C was placed in a constant-pressure calorimeter, with a heat capacity of 12.4 J/°C, containing 80.0 g of water at 24.0°C. The final temperature of the system was found to be 28.4°C. Calculate the specific heat of the metal
Expert Solution
Step 1
Given : Mass of water = 80.0 g
Mass of metal = 44.0 g
Initial temperature of water = 24.0 oC
Final temperature of water = 28.4 oC
Initial temperature of metal = 99.0 oC
Heat capacity of calorimeter = 12.4 J/oC
And Final temperature of metal = 28.4 oC (same as water because they will be in equilibrium)
