Question
An aluminum calorimeter of mass 58 g, has 155 g water, both at a temperature of 21°C. A 108-g piece of metal originally kept in boiling water (T = 100°C) is transferred to the calorimeter. The final equilibrium temperature of the mixture is 26.6°C. Calculate the specific heat of the metal (in J/kg).
Specific Heats: Al = 900 J/kg, water =4186 J/g
