A piece of metal weighing 73.5 g is heated to a temperature of 98.7°C. The metal is then placed in 1500.0 g of water at a temperature of 25.4°C. The temperature of the water increases to a final temperature of 28.2°C. What is the specific heat of the metal? (specific heat of water = 4.184 J/°C *g) qgained = -qlostq = mc∆T
