QUESTION:
When a 58.8-g piece of hot alloy is placed in 125 g of cold water in a calorimeter, the temperature of the alloy decreases by \(106.1^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), while the temperature of the water increases by \(10.5^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). What is the specific heat of the alloy?
ANSWER:Step 1 of 3
The heat energy quantity that basically gets absorbed to create an increment in the temperature of a particular compound containing unit mass, with one degree C or one kelvin is named “specific heat”.
The given mass of the alloy is 58.8 g.
The given mass of cold water is 125 g.
The temperature change in alloy is \(106.1^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\).
The temperature change in water is \(10.5^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\).
