The specific heat of metal = 0.897 J/g° C
Further explanation
Heat absorbed can be calculated using the formula:
Q = mc∆T
Q = heat, J
m = mass, g
c = specific heat, joules / g ° C
∆T = temperature difference, ° C / K
Q = 8.793 J
m = 2 g
∆t = 4.9 °C
[tex]\tt c=\dfrac{Q}{m.\Delta t}\\\\c=\dfrac{8.793}{2\times 4.9}\\\\c=0.897~J/g^oC[/tex]
