Question

one gm of ice at 0 degree c contracts in volume by 0.091 cm^3 on melting.9 gm of metal is heated to 200 c and dropped into an ice calorimeter.The decrease in volume was found to be 0.182 cm^3.Calculate the specific heat capactity of metal.

Answer 1

$$mc(T_2-T_1)=ML$$

$$(9)c(200-0)=(1)(3.36\cdot 10^5)$$

$$c=187\frac{J}{kgK}$$
