Apiece of metal of mass 12 g at 107 ◦c is placed in a calorimeter containing 55.7 g of water at 20◦c. the final temperature of the mixture is 27.6 ◦c. what is the specific heat capacity of the metal? assume that there is no energy lost to the surroundings.

The law of conservation of energy can be applied to heat changes, ie the heat received / absorbed is the same as the heat released

Heat can be calculated using the formula:

A calorimeter is a device used to measure the specific heat of material

A metal is put into a calorimeter that contains water and there will be heat transfer:

m = metal

w = water

T = the final temperature of the mixture

known :

m of metal = 12 g = 0.012 kg

Tm = 107 ◦C + 273 = 380 K

m of water = 55.7 g = 0.0557 kg

Tw = 20 ◦C + 273 = 293 K

cw= 4,200 J / kg C

T = 27.6 + 273 = 300.6 K

the specific heat capacity of the metal :

asking the goog might u get an answer

answer is: naturally occurring solid, inorganic compound or element is mineral.

minerals usually have crystalline form, that means than crystal constituents (atoms, molecules or ions) are arranged in a highly ordered microscopic structure, forming a crystal lattice that extends in all directions.

for example magnetite is a mineral of iron oxide (fe₂o₃).

calcite is a carbonate mineral and the most stable polymorph of calcium carbonate (caco₃).

dolomite is an   carbonate mineral composed of calcium magnesium carbonate (camg(co₃)₂).
