**Experiment Description:**

A hot 122.8 g lump of an unknown substance initially at 154.8 °C is placed in 35.0 mL of water initially at 25.0 °C, and the system is allowed to reach thermal equilibrium. The final temperature of the system is 56.9 °C.

**Objective:**

Using this information and the specific heat values for several metals in the table, identify the unknown substance. Assume no heat is lost to the surroundings.

**Options:**

- ○ graphite
- ○ zinc
- ○ aluminum
- ○ titanium
- ○ tungsten
- ○ rhodium

**Table of Specific Heat Values:**

| Substance  | Specific heat (J/(g·°C)) |
|------------|--------------------------|
| aluminum   | 0.897                    |
| graphite   | 0.709                    |
| rhodium    | 0.243                    |
| titanium   | 0.523                    |
| tungsten   | 0.132                    |
| zinc       | 0.388                    |
| water      | 4.184                    |

**Instructions:**

Analyze the problem using the principle of heat transfer (Q = mcΔT) to determine the identity of the unknown substance based on the provided specific heat values.
