A student is trying to determine some information about a metal sphere. He weighs a piece of metal sphere and it weighed 8.25 g. When the student places it into a graduated cylinder of water , the liquid level rises from 6.25 mL to 10.47 mL. Part 1: if the metal sphere was heated from 24.5°C to 78.6°C and absorbed 876 J of heat, what is the specific heat capacity of this metal sphere ? Part 2: What is the mass of water used in grams.

Question
A student is trying to determine some information about a metal sphere. He weighs a piece of metal sphere and it weighed 8.25 g. When the student places it into a graduated cylinder of water , the liquid level rises from 6.25 mL to 10.47 mL. Part 1: if the metal sphere was heated from 24.5°C to 78.6°C and absorbed 876 J of heat, what is the specific heat capacity of this metal sphere ? Part 2: What is the mass of water used in grams.
Expert Solution
Step 1

Given: Mass of metal = 8.25 g.

Initial temperature of metal = 24.5 oC

Final temperature of metal = 78.6 oC

And amount of heat absorbed by the meta = 876 J.
