Answer:
m = 4.11 grams
Explanation:
Given that,
The specific heat of Iron, c = 0.45 J/g°C
Heat removed, [tex]Q=1.16\times 10^2\ J[/tex]
Initial temperature, [tex]T_i=89^{\circ} C[/tex]
Final temperature, [tex]T_f=26.41^{\circ} C[/tex]
We need to find the mass of the iron. We know that the heat removed in terms of specific heat is given by :
[tex]Q=mc\Delta T\\\\m=\dfrac{Q}{c\Delta T}\\\\m=\dfrac{-1.16\times 10^2}{0.45\times (26.41-89)}\\\\m=4.11\ g[/tex]
So, the mass of the iron is 4.11 grams.
