QUESTION:
An unknown metal with a mass of 28 g absorbs 58 J of heat. Its temperature rises from \(31.1 ^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) to \(39.9\ ^{circ}\mathrm{C}\). Calculate the heat capacity of the metal and identify it referring to Table 3.4.
ANSWER:Step 1 of 2
The mass of the unknown metal is 28 g, which absorbed 58 J of heat.
The temperature rises from \(31.1^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \text { to } 39.9^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\).
We have to calculate the heat capacity of the metal.
