Result:
The specific heat of the metal = 0.893 J/g°C
Explanation and calculation:
Heat quantity = mass × specific heat capacity × temperature change
ΔQ = Mcθ
Heat released by the metal = Heat absorbed by the water
Heat given off by the metal
= mass of metal × specific heat of metal × temperature difference
= 19 x specific heat × (22 - 96)
= 1406 × specific heat
Heat gained by water
= mass of water × specific heat of water × temperature difference
= 75 x 4.186 x (22 - 18)
= 1255.8 J
Consequently;
= 1406 x specific heat = 1255.8
Specific heat thus calculated = 0.893 J/g°C
