Explanation / Answer

Solution-

Here the heat lost by Mg = mass x specific heat x temperature change

= 64.38 x c x (99.42 - 34.78) = 4161.52c J


And the heat gained by water = mass x specific heat x temperature change

= 78.47 x 4.184 x (34.78 - 22.43) = 4054,73 J


Heat gained by calorimeter = heat capacity x temperature change

= 1.66 x (34.78 - 20.64) = 23.47


Total heat lost = total heat gained

4161.52c = 4054.73 + 23.47 = 4078.2

Specific heat of Mg =

=>c = 0.979 J/goC
