When 30 g of a metal at 86 ◦C is added to 46 g of water at 23 ◦C, the temperature of the water rises to 32 ◦C. What is the specific heat capacity of the metal? Assume no heat was lost to the surroundings. Answer in units of J g · ◦C

Ican determine the molar mass of an element by looking on the under the atomic mass for the element. for example the molar mass of phosphorus is 30.974 grams/mole. avogadro’s number tells me the amount of representative particles in 1 mole of any substance. this means 12.011 gram sample of carbon and a 32.0 gram sample of sulfur have the same number of atoms.
