17) A coffee-cup calorimeter is filled with 200.0 mL of water at 22.1 °C. A piece of metal at 48.6 °C with a mass of 5.1 g is added. The final temperature of the water in the calorimeter is 26.8 °C. The density of liquid water is 1.00 g/mL, and its specific heat capacity is 4.18 J(g C). Determine the specific heat capacity of the metal.
