The specific heat of the unknown metal is 0.859 J/g⁰C.

Specific heat of the unknown metal

Heat lost by the unknown metal = Heat gained by water

m₁c₁Δθ₁ = m₂c₂Δθ₂

where;

  • c₁ is specific heat of the unknown metal
  • c₂ is specific heat of water

(15)(c₁)(99 - 26) = (75)(4.18)(26 - 23)

1095c₁ = 940.5

c₁ = 940.5/1095

c₁ = 0.859 J/g⁰C
