Part A:
A chunk of metal with a mass of 250.5 g at 76.8°C
is placed in 0.1 kg of water initially at a
temperature of 21.3°C. The metal and water reach
the final equilibrium temperature of 34.78°C. If no
heat is exchanged between the system and its
surrounding, (specific heat of water is 1 cal/g °C).
Calculate the,
specific heat of the metal in J/kg°C:
