Question

The approximate atomic weight of a metal whose specific heat is 0.16 cal gm–1 k–1 will be

Answer 1

Hello Dear.

Given ⇒
Specific Heat of the Metal = 0.16 cal/g k.

∵ Atomic Weight × Specific Heat = 6.4 (Approximately)
∴ Atomic Weight × 0.16 = 6.4
⇒ Atomic Weight = 6.4/0.16
∴ Atomic Weight of the Metals = 40

∴ The Approximate Atomic Weight of the Metals is 40.


Hope it helps.

Answer 2

∵ Atomic Weight × Specific Heat = 6.4 (Approximately)

∴ Atomic Weight × 0.16 = 6.4

⇒ Atomic Weight = 6.4/0.16

∴ Atomic Weight of the Metals = 40
