You have a 28.2-g sample of a metal heated to 95.20 °C. You drop it in a calorimeter with 100. g of water at 25.10 °C. The final temperature of the water is 31.00 °C. Assuming no heat loss to the surroundings or the calorimeter, calculate the specific heat capacity of the metal. Specific heat capacity of water = 4.184 J/g·°C
