A piece of lead with a mass of 14.9 grams at a temperature of 92.5 degrees Celsius is dropped into an insulated container of wat
er. The mass of the water is 165 g and its temperature before adding the lead is 20.00 degrees Celsius. After adding the lead to the water, the water temperature rises to 20.20 degrees Celsius. What is the specific heat of the lead?
According to Le Châtelier's principle, an increase in temperature favors the endothermic process. Since the reaction, which proceeds towards bromine chloride, is endothermic, the reaction would shift right, making more products.
