A metal object with a mass of 19g is heated to 96c, then transferred to a calorimeter containg 75g of water at 18c. the water and metal object reach a final temperature of 22c.

a. what is the specific heat of this metal object?

    Let us say that Cp is the specific heat of the metal object. Then we do a heat balance (heat lost by metal = heat gained by water):

    - 19g * Cp * (22degC - 96degC) = 75g * 4.184J/g degC * (22degC - 18degC)

    Cp = 0.893 J/g degC
