An unknown metal of mass192 gheated to a temperature of100°Cwas immersed into a brass calorimeter of mass128 gcontaining240 gof water at a temperature of8.4oC.Calculate the specific heat of the unknown metal if water temperature stabilizes at21.5oC.(Specific heat of brass is394J kg-1K-1)

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

Conservation of energy:

msΔT=mbsb+mwswΔTw

192×10-3s100-21.5=128×394+240×4182×10-3×21.5-8.4

s=50432+100368013.115072=916.19≃916J kg-1 K-1
