A 25.00 gram sample of an unknown metal initially at 99.0 degrees Celcius is added to 50.00 grams of water initially at 12.87 degrees Celcius. The final temperature of the system is 20.15 degrees Celcius. Calculate the specific heat of the metal. (The specific heat of water is 4.184 J/g*C). Record your answer in scientific notation using three significant figures.
