21. A piece of metal with a a mass of 15.2 g is heated from 17°C to 42°C. In the process it absorbs 1362 J of energy as heat. What is the specific heat of the metal?

3584.21 J/kg.K

Explanation:

Applying

Q = cm(t₂-t₁) equation 1

Where Q = Quantity of heat absorb, c = specific heat capacity of the metal, m = mass of the metal, t₁ = intial temperature, t₂ = Final temperature.

make c the subject of the equation

c = Q/(m(t₂-t₁) Equation 2

From the question,

Given: Q = 1362 J, m = 15.2 g = 0.0152 kg, t₁ = 17°C, t₂ = 42°C

Substitute these values into equation 2

c = 1362/0.0152(42-17)

c = 1362/0.38

c = 3584.21 J/kg.K

where's the diagram?

the density(ratio between mass and volume as m/v) decreases from top to bottom in periodic table group as the size increases and nuclear charge decreases. but in periods density increases from left to right as atom size decreases and nuclear charge increases.
