piece of metal weighing 50 grams was heated to 100°C and then dropped into 250 grams of water at 25°C. The metal cooled down and the water became warmer until both were at a temperature of 28.8°C. Calculate the amount of heat absorbed by the water. Assuming that the heat lost by the copper was absorbed by the water, what is the specific heat of the metal? (sH2O = 4.18 J / g °C)

A piece of metal weighing 50 grams was heated to 100°C and then dropped into 250 grams of
water at 25°C. The metal cooled down and the water became warmer until both were at a
temperature of 28.8°C. Calculate the amount of heat absorbed by the water. Assuming that the
heat lost by the copper was absorbed by the water, what is the specific heat of the metal?
(sH2O = 4.18 J / g °C)
