Please help and answer all
49 g of an unknown metal is heated to a temperature of 150.0 C. A calorimeter is filled with 120.0 g of water at an initial temperature of 20.0 C. The specific heat capacity of water is 4.184 J/gC.
The hot metal is placed inside the calorimeter and the system is allowed to reach equilibrium. The equilibrium temperature is 22.70 C.
How much heat did the water absorb from the metal?
The Law of Conservation of Energy tells us that the amount of heat gained by the water must be equal to the amount of heat lost by the metal. Therefore, what is the value of Q for the metal based on your calculated value of Q for the water?
Now that you know the Q for the metal, use the data to calculate the specific heat capacity of the metal. Show your work and use proper significant digits and units in your answer.
