measuring energy in chemical reactions: A 10.40 g sample of silver was heated to 100.0°C. It was then added to 28.0 g of water in an insulated container. The water temperature rise from 25.0°C to 26.48°C. What is the specific heat of silver? read below pls!

joancrawford:

i have the solution here put every time i try to do the math i get -764.608 Ag and 173.385 H2O, i don't understand how the result is 0.227.

There’s only one variable to solve for in line 3. (The specific heat of silver). The specific heat of water is already given as 4.184. -10.4 * (specific heat of silver) * (26.8-100) = 28 * 4.184 * (26.48-25) Multiplying -10.4 * specific heat of silver * (26.8-100) on the left side gives us 761.28 * specific heat of silver Multiplying the right side out gives us 173.38 Solving 761.28 * specific heat of silver = 173.38 Gives us the stated solution
