Answer:
Silver 0.237 J/g °C
Explanation:
We know that the heat required to raise the temperature of a given mass of a substance through a given temperature rise is given by;
H = mcθ
Where;
m = mass of the body
c = specific heat capacity of the body
θ = temperature rise
10.1 J = 2.8 g * c * (36°C – 21°C)
c = 10.1 J / 2.8 g * (36°C – 21°C)
c = 0.24 J/g °C
