An unknown metal with a mass of 28g absorbs 58j of heat. it’s temperature rises from 31.1 c to 39.9 c. calculate the heat capacity of the metal

The formula for heat capacity is:

      -(1)

where Q is heat, m is mass, C is specific heat capacity and is change in temperature.

Mass of the metal = 28 g  (given)

Heat abosrbs = 58 J     (given)

Initial temperature =   (given)

Final temperature =    (given)

Substituting the values in formula (1):

Hence, the heat capacity of the metal is .

c) should be the answer.
