Explain the specific heat capacitance of the substance

Reference no: EM13646522

A student finds a shiny gold-covered rock and decides to determine if it is gold. She first determines that the mass of the rock is 4.7g. She then finds that upon absorption of 57.2J of heat the temperature of the rock rises from 25 degrees C to 57 degrees C. What is the specific heat capacitance of the substance? Assuming your experimental error is +/- 10%, is it gold?
