q = mass metal x specific heat metal x (Tfinal-Tinitial)
6000 J = 50.0 x specific heat metal x (955.0 - 25.0)
Solve for specific heat metal. Post your work if you get stuck.
You are given 50.0g of an unknown metal. You apply 6.00 x103J of energy to
the metal, raising its temperature from 25.0°C to 955.0°C. What is the specific heat of the metal?

how would i find the specific heat of the metal?
do i subtract 955.0 by 25.0?
do i subtract 955.0 by 25.0?
I believe you need a course in algebra.
Yes, the first step is to subtract 955.0 - 25.0 = 930.0
6000 J = 50.0 x specific heat metal x (955.0 - 25.0)
6000 = 50 x sp.h. x 930.0
6000 = 46,500 x sp.h.
sp.h. is the unknown. Solve for that.
