iron's specific heat is 450 J/kgC. Aluminum's specific heat is 900 J/kgC. A piece of iron weighing 310 g is 180 degrees Celsius. It's then put into an aluminum calorimeter holding 250 g of liquid that is originally 10 degrees Celsius. The final temperature of the liquid was 33 degrees Celsius, what is that liquid's specific heat?
