A small statue, made of an unknown metal, weighs 700 g. This statue at room temperature (27.00° C) is placed in a beaker containing 1.00 L (1000 g) of 100.00° C water (heat capacity = 4.184 J/°C) is allowed to sit until the temperature of the statue and the water is the same, 95.61°C. Given the following specific heat capacities of metals, decide which metal the statue is made of. specific heat capacity metal (3/g°C) Au (s) 0.127 Ag (s) 0.231 Zn (s) 0.382 Fe (s) 0.448 Al (s) 0.926
