In an experiment, 28.0 g of metal was heated to 98.0°C and then quickly transferred to 150.0 g of water in a calorimeter. The initial temperature of the water was 24.5°C, and the final temperature after the addition of the metal was 32.5°C. Assume the calorimeter behaves ideally and does not absorb or release heat.  What is the value of the specific heat capacity (in J/g•°C) of the metal?
