Answer:
0.16 J/g℃
Explanation:
We have the following data:
heat = 1,200 J
mass of metal = m = 150 g
change in temperature = ΔT = 50.0℃
The heat absorbed is calculated by using the following equation:
heat = m x Cp x ΔT
So, we introduce the data in the equation to calculate the specific heat of the metal (Cp), as follows:
Cp = heat/(m x ΔT) = (1,200 J)/(150 g x 50.0℃) = 0.16 J/g℃
