Question

When 72 grams of a metal at 97.0oC is added to 100.0 grams of water at 25oC, the final temperature is 29.1oC. What is the specific heat capacity (in J/g.oC) of the metal?
[mass metal x specific heat metal x (Tfinal-Tinitial)] + [mass H2O x specific heat H2O x (Tfinal-Tinitial)] = 0
Substitute the numbers and solve for specific heat metal.
