A 28.0-g sample of an unknown metal is heated to 97.0°C and is placed in a perfectly insulated container along with 170.g of water at an initial temperature of 21.65°C. After a short time the temperature of both the metal and water become equal at 24.00°C.
The specific Heat Capacity of water is 4.18 J/g/K in this temperature range.
What is the specific heat capacity of the metal?
