Answer

Therefore the specific heat capacity of the metal is 2.2 J/g$^{\circ}$C.

Work Step by Step

We will use the equation $q=mc\Delta t$ q = heat transferred m = mass c = specific heat $\Delta t $ = change in temperature plug in the values. 56 = (11) (c) (2.3) ***We multiply 11 times 2.3 and then divide 56 by that answer *** solve using a calculator c= 2.2 Therefore the specific heat capacity of the metal is 2.2 J/g$^{\circ}$C
