11. Suppose 28.0 grams of metal is heated to 100°C in a test tube immersed in a boiling water bath. The hot metal is then dropped into 103 g of water in a styrofoam cup calorimeter. The temperature of the water raises from 25.0 °C to 28.3°C. (a) Describe the direction of heat flow in this experiment. (b) When was thermal equilibrium reached? (c) Calculate the specific heat of the metal.
