A piece of metal weighing 59.047 g was heated to 100.0°C and then put it into 100.0 mL of water (initially at 23.7°C). The metal and water were allowed to come to an equilibrium temperature, determined to be 27.8°C. Assuming no heat lost to the environment, calculate the specific heat of the metal. (Hint: First calculate the heat absorbed by the water then use this value for “q” to determine the specific heat of the metal in a second calculation.) Compare your result to the above list of substances. What could the metal be? Explain your answer.
