Question #eee3a
1 Answer
The substance is most likely iron.
Explanation:
It looks as if we should calculate the specific heat capacity of the substance.
The formula for the amount heat
color(blue)(bar(ul(|color(white)(a/a)q = mCΔTcolor(white)(a/a)|)))" "
where
You can rearrange the formula to calculate the specific heat capacity:
C = q/(mΔT)
In this problem,
∴
The Engineering Toolbox lists the following specific heat capacities of metals:
I will go for the one in the middle and say that the substance is most likely iron.
