When 1500. j of heat is added to 250. g of a metal, its temperature is raised by 25 oc. what is the specific heat capacity of the metal and what is the metal?

The specific heat capacity of the metal is

Explanation:

To calculate the specific heat of metal, we use the equation:

where,

Q = heat absorbed = 1500 J

m = Mass of the substance = 250 g

c = specific heat capacity of water = ? J/g.°C

= change in temperature =

Putting values in above equation, we get:

Hence, the specific heat capacity of the metal is

the formula for the conversion of temperature from degree celsius to kelvin is:

the sample of water at is converted to kelvin temperature by using the above formula as:

on comparing the two samples of water at or we can say that at and at respectively. the difference between the temperatures of two samples of water is:

hence, one can say that the sample of water at is greater than the sample of water at by .
