In order to find the specific heat capacity of an unknown material a 50 g piece is heated to 80 degrees Celsius and fully immersed in a well insulated calorimeter filled with 100 g of water at 10 degr?

Assuming that the full question, which the questioner failed to post, is given in the Discussion, below.
Taking the specific heat capacity of water as 4.2 Joules per gram per degree C, the metal has a specific heat capacity as approx 0.68 Joules/(g °C).

Is the heat capacity of a body the same as its specific heat capacity?
The heat capacity depends on the mass of a material and is expressed in j/K.The specific heat capacity not depends on the mass of a material and is expressed in j/mol.K.
Why are bubbles emitted when a chalk piece is immersed in water?
Chalk is a porous material - this means there are microscopic holes in the substance, which water seeps into - expelling air as visible bubbles.
What does it mean to say that a material has a high or low specific heat capacity?
The specific heat capacity of a substance is the amount of energy required to increase the temperature of a said substance 1o K. The capacity is measured in kilojoules divided by kilogram time degrees Kelvin (kJ/Kg k). So, if the specific heat capacity of a substance is high, it requires a very large amount of energy to increase the temperature, and if it has a low specific heat capacity, the required energy will be lower.
What is the meaning of insulated?
The act of insulating, or the state of being insulated; detachment from other objects; isolation., The act of separating a body from others by nonconductors, so as to prevent the transfer of electricity or of heat; also, the state of a body so separated.
Heat capacity is the amount of heat need to raise?
in the SI system - the amount of energy to raise 1 Kg of material 1 K
What does it mean that the calorimeter is adiabatically isolated from the surroundings?
A calorimeter measures the amount of heat involved in a chemical reaction. A calorimeter that is adiabatically isolated from the surroundings means that any heat that is generated by the material sample under test, causes an increase in temperature.
Why is water an excellent material to use in a calorimeter?
Water is an excellent material to use in a calorimeter because it has a very high specific heat, making it very hard for water to raise its temperature even by 1 degree celsius, but as hard as it was to raise the temperature of the water, it is equally as hard to lower the temperature of the water-making it able to effectively retain heat and allowing the other material inside of the calorimeter to absorb that heat.
Why calorimeter made up from nonmetallic material?
Can be used for testing heat output of devices powered by magnetic and/or electrical fields.
Is the material for the Insulated Grommet Curtain Panel dyeable?
Insulated grommet curtain panels can be dyed, but care must be taken so they dye evenly.
What is the density of iron in saline water?
Density is the characteristic property of the material and it does not depend on the liquid in which it is immersed
Why is water an excellent material to use in the calorimeter?
because water has a very high specific heat capacity compared to most liquids
A calorimeter uses the principle that thermal energy flows from hotter material to colder material until both reach the same?
...until both reach the same TEMPERATURE. That is, they are in THERMAL EQUILIBRIUM.
When can you use metal with electric devices?
Type your answer here..if it is insulated or covered by an insulating material
What is the science definition for insulate?
Protect (from heat) by interposing material. Example: this tire is insulated!
What is the amount of material a container can be hold its capacity?
Volume (or capacity) describes this.
Where can structural insulated panels be found?
Structural insulated panels are used mainly as a composite building material. Most commonly you can find them in prefabricated modular houses. Alternatively if you wish to purchase a structural insulated panel from the website of the company known as IB Panels.
Is the heat capacity of a body the same as its specific heat capacity?
The heat capacity depends on the mass of a material and is expressed in j/K.The specific heat capacity not depends on the mass of a material and is expressed in j/mol.K.
