- The amount of energy needed to heat 2.00 grams of mercury from 50.00 to 90.00 is 11.28 Jules. The specific heat capacity of the sample is?arrow_forwardIn a simple calorimeter, a piece of metal weighing 48.67 g was heated to 120.0 °C and then put it into 100.0 mL of water (initially at 23.7 °C). The metal and water were allowed to come to an equilibrium temperature, determined to be 27.8 °C. Assuming no heat lost to the environment, calculate the specific heat of the metal. Is this process endothermic or exothermic? Explain. Show Your Workarrow_forwardA 30.0 g sample of chromium is heated to 100.0 °C in a boiling water bath. The sample is added to a calorimeter charged with 45.0 mL of water at 34.1 °C. The final temperature of the calorimeter contents is 38.5 °C. Calculate the specific heat of chromium.arrow_forward
