Answer:
[tex]\text{ 0.76 J/g.\degree C}[/tex]Explanation:
Here, we want to calculate the specific heat capacity of the metal
Mathematically:
[tex]Q\text{ = mc}\Delta T[/tex]where :
Q is the amount of heat absorbed given as 1870 J
m is the mass of the metal given as 54.51g
c is the specific heat capacity that we want to calculate
delta T is the temperature change given as 45.2 °C
Rewriting the formula above in terms of c, we have it that:
[tex]c\text{ = }\frac{Q}{m\Delta T}[/tex]Substituting the values, we have it that:
[tex]c\text{ = }\frac{1870}{54.51\times45.2}\text{ = 0.76 J/g.\degree C}[/tex]
