A 440.0 g quantity of a certain metal is heated to 100.0 C. It is immediately placed into 258 g of water (specific heat = 4.18J/g*C) that is initially at 25.0 C. The water/metal mixture is in an insulated container and both are allowed to come to a final temperature of 36.5 C. What is the specific heat of the metal?
