Answer: 13 grams
Step-by-step explanation:
The quantity of heat energy (Q) released from a heated substance depends on its Mass (M), specific heat capacity (C) and change in temperature (Φ)
Thus, Q = MCΦ
Since,
Q = 202.8 Joules
Mass of silver = ?
C = 0.240 J/g °C.
Φ = 65°C
Then, Q = MCΦ
202.8J = M x 0.240 J/g °C x 65°C
202.8J = M x 15.6 J/g
M = (202.8J / 15.6 J/g)
M = 13 g
Thus, the mass of silver is 13 grams
