The temperature of a 700.96 gram piece of metal falls 120⁰C and in the process releases 2001 Joules of energy. What is the specific heat of the piece of metal?

The specific heat for the metal is 0.466 J/g°C.

Explanation:

Given,

Q = 1120 Joules

mass = 12 grams

T₁ = 100°C

T₂ = 300°C

The specific heat for the metal can be calculated by using the formula

Q = (mass) (ΔT) (Cp)

ΔT = T₂ - T₁ = 300°C  - 100°C   = 200°C

Substituting values,

1120 = (12)(200)(Cp)

Cp = 0.466 J/g°C.

Therefore, specific heat of the metal is 0.466 J/g°C.

the answer would be c
