Problem

A student does an experiment to determine the specific heat capacity of a metal block. She records the following measurements. energy supplied = 12 kJ initial temperature = 20 °C final temperature = 45 °C mass of metal block = 600 g What is the specific heat capacity of the metal block? (A) 8.0×10−4 J/(kg ∘C)8.0 \times 10^{-4}\,\text{J}/(\text{kg}\,^{\circ}\text{C}) (B) 0.80 J/(kg ∘C)0.80\,\text{J}/(\text{kg}\,^{\circ}\text{C}) (C) 180 J/(kg ∘C)180\,\text{J}/(\text{kg}\,^{\circ}\text{C}) (D) 800 J/(kg ∘C)800\,\text{J}/(\text{kg}\,^{\circ}\text{C})
