It takes 47.0 j to raise the temperature of an 10.2 g piece of unknown metal from 13.0∘c to 24.6 ∘c. what is the specific heat for the metal? express your answer with the appropriate units.

Answer :

Specific heat is a constant that tells how many energies needed to increase the temperature of a mass of a substance. A substance with low specific heat will be easier to change to hot or cold.

The formula would be:
Q=C * m *ΔT 
C= Q/ (m *ΔT)
C= 47J/10.2g(24.6-13°C)
C= 0.397 J/g°C
