(a) A piece of unknown metal weighs 184 g. When the metal piece absorbs 482.8 J of heat, its temperature increases from 24.5 °C to 40.9 °C. Determine the specific heat of this metal. 160 QUESTION 14 Continuation of the previous problem (b) Taking this same piece of metal, if it starts at 40.9°C, and is now added to a beaker of water at 23.2°C, you find that the temperature of the water eventually reaches thermal equilibrium at T = 24.66°C. How much water was in the beaker when you added the metal?
