Using the mathematical formulas for specific heat...

OpenStudy (amtran_bus):

A metal with a specific heat of .126 cal/gC is placed into a boiling water bath with a temp of 94.5C. The metal is then placed into a calorimeter containing 86.5g of acetic acid at a temp of 20.6C. The temp of the acid and metal reached 35.5C. The density of the acid is 1.04g/ml and the specific heat is 2.05 J/gC. What is the mass of the metal?

this is a physics question

OpenStudy (evonhowell):

Dude I have no idea..

OpenStudy (frostbite):

\[C=c*m\] C = the heat capacity c= The specific heat capacity

OpenStudy (frostbite):

The equation should not be used in phase transitions....

OpenStudy (frostbite):

done deal.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is super hard for a seventh grader...?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

kinda plus i dont wanna do a buch of work pls im in easier math

OpenStudy (anonymous):

plus not pls

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i didnt learn this till 9th grade so dont worry @godgavemeyou

OpenStudy (amtran_bus):

im in 12th

OpenStudy (frostbite):

In addition to that you might want to use this relation as well: \[c=\frac{ Q }{ \Delta T*m }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea i have no clue!
