When a 40.0 g sample of a metal at 25.00 °c is added to 65.0 g of water at 100.00 °c, the final temperature of both the water and metal is 93.27 °c. the specific heat of water is 4.184 j/(g×c). what is the specific heat of the metal?

 Specific heat of the metal is

Explanation:

As we know that,  

        .................(1)

where,

q = heat absorbed or released

= mass of metal = 40.0 g

= mass of water = 65.0 g

= final temperature =

= temperature of metal =

= temperature of water =

= specific heat of metal = ?

= specific heat of water=

Now put all the given values in equation (1), we get

Therefore, the specific heat of the metal is

conduction is the transfer of thermal energy (heat in transfer) due to collisions between the molecules in the object. collisions between adjacent atoms and molecules transfer kinetic energy from the warmer to the cooler object. the objects must be in physical contact.
