Answer:

As we know the heat lost by meta is equal to the gain of the water i.e

Heat lost by metal= heat gain by water

therfore,

mxcx(Tin-Teq)= mwcw(Teq- Tin).............(1)

mycy(Tin-Teq)= mwcw(Teq- Tin).............(2)

according to the problem:

mxcx(40-22)= mwcw(22-20)................(3)

mycy(40-23)=mwcw(23-20).................(4)

Dividing equation 3 and 4 we get

cx/cy 18/17=2/3

cy= 27/17* 0.2 cal/g

cy= 0.317cal/g

Hence the specific heat of the metal Y is 0.317cal/g

Answer:

Explanation:

"It is known to us that the heat lost by the metal is equal to the heat gain by the water, that is,

Heat lost by metal= heat gain by water

therfore,

mxcx(Tin-Teq)= mwcw(Teq- Tin).............(1)

mycy(Tin-Teq)= mwcw(Teq- Tin).............(2)

according to the problem:

mxcx(40-22)= mwcw(22-20)................(3)

mycy(40-23)=mwcw(23-20).................(4)

Dividing equation 3 and 4 we get

cx/cy 18/17=2/3

cy= 27/17* 0.2 cal/g

cy= 0.317cal/g

Hence the specific heat of the metal Y is 0.317cal/g"
