A piece of metal of mass 27 g at 93° C is placed
in a calorimeter containing 59.2 g of water at
21°C. The final temperature of the mixture is 34.9 ° C. What is the specific heat capacity of the metal? Assume that there is no energy lost to the surroundings.
Answer in units of J/g. ° C

1.586 J/g°C

Explanation:

So, we have the formula .

Since heat released by the metal is = to the heat absorbed by the water (because they eventually become the same temperature in solution), we can say

Plugging in, we get:

Solving, we get J/g°C.

c is having 4 valence electrons and is bonded to three hydrogens and one sulphur atom, therefore, the number of bond pair is equal to four. as all the valence electrons are used in forming the bonds so, there is no lone pair left on carbon.

s is having 6 valence electrons and is bonded to one other sulfur atom and one carbon atom, therefore, the number of bond pair is equal to 2. as only two valence electrons are used in forming the bonds so, four electrons are left. therefore, two lone pairs are present on s.
