84 g of a metal at an initial temperature of 72°c releases 553 j of heat. Calculate the final temperature of the metal if its specific heat capacity is 0. 13 j/g⋅k.

Answer:

Q = 553 J = c M ΔT heat released

ΔT = Q / (c * M)

ΔT = 553 J / (.13 J/g-K * 84 g) = 50.6 K change in temperature

72 - 50.6 = 21.4 deg K final temperature os metal
