Question
  1. Exactly 245.3 J will raise the temperature of 10.0 g of a metal from 25.0 °C to 60.0 °C. What is the specific heat capacity of the metal?
      a.
    0.701 J/g · °C
      b.
    1.43 J/g · °C
      c.
    12.6 J/g · °C
      d.
    58.7 J/g · °C
      e.
    none of these
Expert Solution
Step 1

1) Given,

mass of metal (m) = 10.0 g

Initial temperature (Ti) = 25.0 °C

Final temperature (Tf) = 60.0 °C

Amount of heat energy (Q) = 245.3 J

Specific heat capacity (s) = ?
