Use the same formula for the next question up, substitute, solve for specific heat metal.
Post your work if you get stuck.
2. A 75.0 g sample of a metal is placed in boiling water until its temperature is 100.00C. A calorimeter contains 100.00 g of water at a temperature of 24.40C. The metal sample is removed from the boiling water and immediately place in water in the calorimeter. The final temperature of the metal and water in the calorimeter is 34.90C. Assuming that the calorimeter provides perfect insulation, what is the specific heat of the metal? The specific heat of water is 4.184 J/(g•0C).
