A metal weighing 4. 82 g was heated to 115. 0 °C and put into 35 mL of water of temperature 28. 7 °C. The metal and water were allowed to come to an equilibrium temperature, determined to be 34. 5 °C. Assuming no heat was lost to the environment, calculate the specific heat of the metal. Consider the specific heat capacity of water as 4. 186 joule/gram °C.
The heat absorbed by the water is J (whole #)
What is the specific heat of the metal? J/gC (tenth)
