Gce Model Questions Vol1 2019 Physics Question 8
Practice objective / multiple choice question 8 from the 2019 Gce Model Questions Vol1 Physics examination.
A \(150\ \text{g}\) metal block at \(120^\circ\text{C}\) is placed into \(250\ \text{g}\) of water at \(25^\circ\text{C}\) in an insulated container. The final equilibrium temperature is \(30^\circ\text{C}\). Assuming no heat loss to the surroundings and that the specific heat capacity of water is \(4.18\ \text{J g}^{-1}\, ^\circ\text{C}^{-1}\), determine the specific heat capacity of the metal. If the metal were replaced by a different metal under the same initial conditions and the final equilibrium temperature rose to \(35^\circ\text{C}\), what would be the specific heat capacity of this second metal? Give both values in \(\text{J g}^{-1}\, ^\circ\text{C}^{-1}\) to two significant figures.
