Question
A piece of hot metal of mass 0 284 kg at 100 0 °C is dropped into insulated beaker cotaining 0 113 kg of water at 23.7 °C. The metal and water were
allowed to come to an equilibrium temperature. If the final temperature of the mixture is 52.1°C. Calculate the specific heat of the metal in units of J/(kg
°C)? The specific heat of water is 4186 J/(kg °C).
Assuming no heat is lost to the environment
Give your answer as a positive number.
