Answer:

m = 4.11 grams

Explanation:

Given that,

The specific heat of Iron, c = 0.45 J/g°C

Heat removed, [tex]Q=1.16\times 10^2\ J[/tex]

Initial temperature, [tex]T_i=89^{\circ} C[/tex]

Final temperature, [tex]T_f=26.41^{\circ} C[/tex]

We need to find the mass of the iron. We know that the heat removed in terms of specific heat is given by :

[tex]Q=mc\Delta T\\\\m=\dfrac{Q}{c\Delta T}\\\\m=\dfrac{-1.16\times 10^2}{0.45\times (26.41-89)}\\\\m=4.11\ g[/tex]

So, the mass of the iron is 4.11 grams.
