**Thermochemistry: Calculating Specific Heat Capacity**A chemist carefully measures the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of a 577.0 g sample of a pure substance from 1.7 °C to 12.8 °C. The experiment shows that 890. J of heat are needed. What can the chemist report for the specific heat capacity of the substance? Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.**Formula Input:**\[ \text{J} \cdot \text{g}^{-1} \cdot \text{K}^{-1} \]There is an input box for entering the calculated specific heat capacity value. The tools available include the ability to:- Input scientific notation.- Clear the entry.- Access help or hints.The bottom options include:- Explanation- CheckThe task involves calculating the specific heat capacity using the formula:\[ c = \frac{q}{m \cdot \Delta T} \]Where:- \( c \) is the specific heat capacity,- \( q \) is the heat added (890. J),- \( m \) is the mass (577.0 g),- \( \Delta T \) is the change in temperature (12.8 °C - 1.7 °C).**Note:** The answer should be reported with the correct number of significant digits based on the given data.

1 If a 69 kg person ate 165 calories worth of sugar (about the calories in a typical energy drink and they converted all of that energy to heat immediately, what would be the change in temperature of that person? A couple of useful facts for this problem. Food calories are actually kilocalories. 1.000 kilocalorie = 4184 Joule We will assume that the average specific heat of this person's body is 3.00 J/gºC. Enter your answer in ºC with at least 2 sig figs. Just so you are not afraid to eat or drink things, a healthy body is very good at regulating temperature- the bad news is that unless you use it right away, our bodies are very good at converting sugar into fat.
Suppose object A has quadruple the specific heat and double the mass of object B. If the same amount of heat is applied to both objects, how will the temperature change of A be related to the temperature change of B? Enter your answer to three significant figures. Temperature change of A = i × (temperature change of B)

Lana is using a calorimeter to determine the specific heat of a metallic sample. She measures out 194.0 grams of her metal and heats it to 86.3 degrees Celsius. Then, she puts the sample into a calorimeter containing 13.91 grams of water at 44.2 degrees Celsius. She measures the temperature of the water in the calorimeter until the number stops changing, then records the final temperature to be 67.3 degrees Celsius. What is the specific heat of the metal?
