Calculate the specific heat capacity of the unknown metal given the following information; the mass of the metal is 225 g, the temperature
raises by 13C and the energy absorbed was 1363 joules.

A. 0.466 j/gC
B.1.02j/gC
C.0.96 j/gC
D.2.14 j/gC

The specific heat capacity of the unknown metal given is .

Explanation:

Given: Mass = 225 g

Change in temperature =

Heat energy = 1363 J

The formula used to calculate specific heat is as follows.

where,

q = heat energy

m = mass of substance

C = specific heat

= change in temperature

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

Thus, we can conclude that the specific heat capacity of the unknown metal given is .

c. 4.54 x 10–12 j happens to be correct
