Answer:
Metal : silver
Explanation:
It is given that,
Mass of the metal, m = 0.5 kg
Temperature, \(\Delta T=1\ ^0\ K\)
Heat, Q = 115 J
Heat absorbed is given by :
\(Q=mc\Delta T\)
\(c=\dfrac{Q}{m\Delta T}\)
Where,
c is the specific heat of the metal
\(c=\dfrac{115\ J}{0.5\times 1\ ^0K}\)
\(c=230\ J/kg\ ^0K\)
The metal having specific heat equals 230 J/kg °K is silver
Hence, this is the required solution.
