Answer:
m = 7.29 grams
Explanation:
Given that,
Initial temperature, T₁ = 25ºC
Final temperature, T₂ = 31.5ºC
The specific heat of the metal is 0.89 J/gºC.
We know that the heat released due to the change in temperature is given by :
[tex]Q=mc\Delta T\\\\m=\dfrac{Q}{c\Delta T}\\\\m=\dfrac{42.2 }{0.89\times (31.5-25)}\\\\m=7.29\ g[/tex]
So, the mass of the piece is equal to 7.29 grams.
