An unknown metal alloy, specific heat capacity = 0.372 J g^-1 °C^-1, has a temperature change of +21.7 °C after a heat transfer of 216.4 J. Calculate the mass of the alloy in question.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The formula for calculating mass using specific heat capacity is: mass = heat transfer / (specific heat capacity * temperature change). Plugging in the values: mass = 216.4 J / (0.372 J/g°C * 21.7 °C) = 26.8 g.
