Question

I need to know what the specific heat capacity of the unknown metal is based on this chart.

Time (minutes)	Temperature (°C)
	Trial 1	Trial 2	Trial 3
Initial	23.2	23.5	24.2
5 minutes	23.3	23.4	24.2
6 minutes	24.2	24.6	25.2
7 minutes	24.3	24.7	25.3
8 minutes	24.3	24.7	25.3
9 minutes	24.4	24.7	25.2
10 minutes	24.3	24.7	25.2
Average Specific Heat Capacity of the Unknown Metal:

Answer 1

Heat Capacity : The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of the substance by 1⁰C

Specific Heat Capacity:The amount of heat require to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by 1⁰C

Average specific heat capacity = mQT, where m is mass ,Q is the heat capacity of whatever sample taken like water and T is change in temperature

Let m= x gram of substance(Assume sample say water )

Q= specific heat of water 4.184 J/ g ⁰C (assume as units not given)

T= change in temperature (final-initial) = 1⁰C

Average heat capacity= x gram 4.184 J/ g ⁰C 1⁰C = 4.184x J
