An experiment was conducted to determine the specific heat of platinum. It was determined that 158.8 Joules of heat were required to increase the temperature of a 50.0 gram sample of platinum from 20.0 °C to 45.5 °C. Based on these experimental results calculate the specific heat (J/g.°C) of platinum. Do not type units into your answer.
