Suppose you heat a metal object with a mass of 31.7 g to 96.5 oC and transfer it to a calorimeter containing 100.0 g of water at 17.3 oC. The water and metal reach a final temperature of 24.6 oC. What is the specific heat of the metal in J/g-oC?

The specific heat of the metal in

Explanation:

As we know that,  

where,

= mass of metal = 31.7 g

= mass of water = 100.0 g

= final temperature =

= temperature of metal =

= temperature of water =

= specific heat of metal= ?

= specific heat of water =  

Now put all the given values in equation (1), we get

Therefore, the specific heat of the metal in

a  solution  is always transparent, light passes through with no scattering from solute particles which are molecule in size. the  solution  is homogeneous and does not settle out. a colloid is intermediate between asolution  and a  suspension. while asuspension  will separate out a colloid will not.
