Question

A 150.0-g sample of a metal at 69.7°C is added to 150.0 g of H2O at 10.5°C. The temperature of the water rises to 13.6°C. Calculate the specific heat capacity of the metal, assuming that all the heat lost by the metal is gained by the water.
[mass metal x specific heat metal x (Tfinal-Tinitial)] + {mass H2O x specific heat H2O x (Tfinal-Tinbitial)] = 0
Substitute all of the numbers and solve for the only unknown; i.e., sp.h. metal.
