A 25 gram(m) metal ball is heated to 200C(delta T) with 2330 Joules(q) of energy. What is the specific heat of the metal?

The specific heat of the metal is 0.466

Explanation:

Calorimetry is the measurement and calculation of the amounts of heat exchanged by a body or a system.

The equation that allows calculating heat exchanges is:

Q = c * m * ΔT

where Q is the heat exchanged by a body of mass m, made up of a specific heat substance c and where ΔT is the temperature variation.

In this case:

Replacing:

2330 J= c*25 g* 200 °C

Solving:

c=0.466

The specific heat of the metal is 0.466

a polar bond is formed when electrons are shared unevenly between atoms
