A135-g sample of a metal requires 2.50kj to change its temperature from 19.5 degrees celsius to 100.0 degrees celsius. what is the specific heat of this metal?

The specific heat of the metal is

Explanation:

The quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree Celsius is called the specific heat capacity.

Q = Heat absorbed=

m= mass of substance = 135 g

c = specific heat capacity = ?

Initial temperature = = 19.5°C

Final temperature =  =100.0°C

Change in temperature ,

Putting in the values, we get:

The specific heat of the metal is
