Experiments were done on a certain pure substance X to determine some of its properties. There's a description of each experiment in the table below. In each case, decide whether the property measured was a chemical or physical property of X, if you can. If you don't have enough information to decide, choose can't decide in the third column. physical or chemical? property experiment O physical A sample of X is carefully weighed and put inside a sealed calorimeter. The calorimeter is heated electrically, and the amount of heat added determined by monitoring the electrical current used. The temperature of X is carefully measured, and from the temperature change and the amount of heat added the value of H may be calculated. O chemical O (can't decide)

In the laboratory a student uses a "coffee cup" calorimeter to determine the specific heat of a metal.She heats 19.2 grams of magnesium to 98.96°C and then drops it into a cup containing 77.8 grams of water at 22.66°C. She measures the final temperature to be 27.15°C.Assuming that all of the heat is transferred to the water, she calculates the specific heat of magnesium to be ________ J/g°C.
