2. a metal weighing 50.0 g absorbs 220.0 j of heat when its temperature increases by 120.0c. What is the specific heat of the metal?..

Answer 2

The specific heat of the metal is $\mathbf{36.667 \left ( \frac{J}{Kg-K} \right )}$

Explanation:

• Given data

        Mass of metal (M) = 50 g = 0.05 kg

        Increase in temperature of metal (ΔT) = 120°C

        Amount of heat absorb (Q) =220 J

        Specific heat of metal = $\mathbf{C_{P}}$ = Unknown

• From formula of

         $\mathbf{(Q)=MC_{P}\Delta T}$

         On putting respective value in above equation

          $\mathbf{220=0.05\times C_{P}\times 120}$

          On solving, We get

          $\mathbf{C_{P}=36.667 \left ( \frac{J}{Kg-K} \right )}$
