A metal object with mass of 22.7 g is heated to 97.0 ∘C and then transferred to an insulated container containing 84.7 g of water at 20.5 ∘C. The water temperature rises and the temperature of the metal object falls until they both reach the same final temperature of 24.3 ∘C. What is the specific heat of this metal object? Assume that all the heat lost by the metal object is absorbed by the water.

The specific heat of the metal object with a mass of 22.7g heated to to temperature of 97.0°C and then transferred to an insulated container containing 84.7 g of water at 20.5 ∘C is 0.815J/g°C

How to calculate specific heat?

The specific heat capacity of a metal can be calculated using the calorimetry equation as follows:

Q = mc∆T

Where;

Q = quantity of heat absorbed

m = mass of substance

c = specific heat capacity

∆T = change in temperature

mc∆T (water) = -mc∆T (metal)

84.7 × 4.18 × 3.8 = - (22.7 × c × -72.7)

1345.375 = 1650.29c

c = 0.815J/g°C

Therefore, the specific heat of the metal object with a mass of 22.7g heated to to temperature of 97.0°C and then transferred to an insulated container containing 84.7 g of water at 20.5 ∘C is 0.815J/g°C.
