Answer:
1375 J/kg.°C
Explanation:
From the question First question,
Q = cm(Δt)................... Equation 1
Where Q = Heat released, c = specific heat capacity of the unknown metal, m = mass of the unknown metal, Δt = Change in temperature.
make c the subject of the equation
c = Q/mΔt.................. Equation 2
Given: Q = -5500 J (Since heat is released, Q is negative), m = 200 g = 0.2 kg, Δt = 10-30 = -20°C
Substitite these values into equation 2
c = -5500/[0.2×(-20)]
c = -5500/-4
c = 1375 J/kg.°C
