STEP 1

Assumptions1. The mass of nickel is10.0 g. The initial temperature of the nickel is.0°C3. The final temperature of the water and nickel is63.4°C4. The specific heat capacity of nickel is0.120 J/g°C5. We are asked to find the heat absorbed by the nickel, denoted as q_Ni

STEP 2

The formula to calculate the heat absorbed or released by a substance is given byq=mcΔq = mc\Deltawhere- qq is the heat absorbed or released, - mm is the mass of the substance, - cc is the specific heat capacity of the substance, and- Δ\Delta is the change in temperature.

STEP 3

The change in temperature, Δ\Delta, is calculated as the final temperature minus the initial temperature.
Δ=finalinitial\Delta =_{final} -_{initial}

STEP 4

Now, plug in the given values for the final and initial temperatures to calculate the change in temperature.
Δ=63.4°C2.0°C\Delta =63.4°C -2.0°C

STEP 5

Calculate the change in temperature.
Δ=63.4°C2.0°C=61.4°C\Delta =63.4°C -2.0°C =61.4°C

STEP 6

Now that we have the change in temperature, we can substitute all the known values into the heat formula.
qNi=mNicNiΔNiq_{Ni} = m_{Ni}c_{Ni}\Delta_{Ni}

STEP 7

Plug in the values for the mass of nickel, the specific heat capacity of nickel, and the change in temperature to calculate the heat absorbed by the nickel.
qNi=10.0g×0.120Jg°C×61.4°Cq_{Ni} =10.0g \times0.120 \frac{J}{g°C} \times61.4°C

STEP 8

Calculate the heat absorbed by the nickel.
qNi=10.0g×0.120Jg°C×61.4°C=73.68Jq_{Ni} =10.0g \times0.120 \frac{J}{g°C} \times61.4°C =73.68 JThe nickel absorbed73.68 Joules of heat.
