Answer:
m = 43.1 g
Explanation:
Given that,
Heat to warm the sample, Q = 820 J
Initial temperature = 0°C
Final temperature = 50°C
The specific heat of zinc is, c = 380 J/kg °C
We need to find the mass of the zinc. The specific heat in terms of mass and temperature is calculated by the relation as follows :
[tex]Q=mc\Delta T\\\\m=\dfrac{Q}{c\Delta T}\\\\=\dfrac{820}{380\times (50-0)}\\\\=0.0431\ kg\\\\=43.1\ g[/tex]
So, the mass of the sample is 43.1 g.
