in a calometry experiment, .50 kg of a metal @ 100 degrees Celsius is added to .50 L of water @ room temperature in an aluminum calometer cup. The cup has a mass of 250 g.

a) if the final temperature of the mixture is 25 degrees Celsius, what is then specific heat of the metal?

b) What would be the effect if some water splashed out of the cup when the metal was added?

thinkin the people in physics may be able to give u a better response queenie, unless u have the equations for specific heat, and maybe the specific heat capacity of water and aluminium...?
