| Physics question 4?
Fidn the specific heat capactiy of an unknown metal, if a 40g piece at 100 degrees C raises the temperature of 100g. of water from 22.0 degrees C to 25.6 degrees C. Using the table below, what metal is the unknown. Note: The temperature change for the metal will be 100 degrees C to 22.2 degrees C (the maximum temperature reached by the water) HINT: Equate the heat loss by the mteal = the heat gained by the water Metal Specific Heat Capacity 9c) (cal/g. degrees C) Water 1.00 Copper 0.092 Gold 0.031 Iron 0.12 Silver 0.057 Tin 0.052 Zinc 0.093 Also, a simple explanation of how to come up with the answer |
