    Answer:

    Specific heat capacity of iron (c) = -0.04 J/g°C

    Explanation:

    Given:

    Mass of sample of iron M = 716.4 gram

    Change in temperature Δt = -33.47°C

    Heat energy Q = 996.6 joules

    Find:

    Specific heat capacity of iron (c)

    Computation:

    We know that

    Q = McΔt

    So,

    c = Q / M[Δt]

    Specific heat capacity of iron (c) = 996.6 / (716.4)(-33.47)

    Specific heat capacity of iron (c) = 996.6 / -23,977.908

    Specific heat capacity of iron (c) = -0.0415

    Specific heat capacity of iron (c) = -0.04 J/g°C
