Question

At 20°C, a piece of metal has a density of 60g. When immersed in a steam current at 100°C, 0.5g of the steam condenses on it. Provided that the latent heat of steam is 540 cal/g, calculate the specific heat of the metal.
Q = mcΔt
Q = m × L

Answer 1

Explanation:

At 20°C, a piece of metal has a density of 60g. When immersed in a steam current at 100°C, 0.5g of the steam condenses on it. Provided that the latent heat of steam is 540 cal/g, calculate the specific heat of the metal.

Q = mcΔt

Q = m × L
