It is assumed that the heat given up by the metal is transferred to the water.  The specific heat of water is 4.18 J/g°C, which means that 4.18 Joules of heat energy is required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water 1 °C.  Use the table below to determine which metal your unknown is.

Metal

Specific Heat (J/g°C)

Aluminum

0.902

Brass

0.380

Copper
