A 31.0 gram block of an unknown metal at 88.0 °C was dropped into an insulated flask containing approximately 30.0 grams of ice and 20.0 grams of water at 0.0 °C. After the system had reached a steady temperature, it was determined that 12.1 grams of ice had melted. What is the specific heat of the metal? The heat of fusion of ice is equal to 334.166 J/g.

States of Matter
The substance that constitutes everything in the universe is known as matter. Matter comprises atoms which in turn are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Different atoms combine together to give rise to molecules that act as a foundation for all kinds of substances. There are five states of matter based on their energies of attraction, namely solid, liquid, gases, plasma, and BEC (Bose-Einstein condensates).
Chemical Reactions and Equations
When a chemical species is transformed into another chemical species it is said to have undergone a chemical reaction. It consists of breaking existing bonds and forming new bonds by changing the position of electrons. These reactions are best explained using a chemical equation.
