Calculate the specific heat of the alloy

Reference no: EM131202527

Unknown specific heat determined by calorimetry. An engineer wishes to determine the specific heat of a new metal alloy. A 0.150-kg sample of the alloy is heated to 540°C. It is then quickly placed in 0.400 kg of water at 10.0°C, which is contained in a 0.200-kg aluminum calorimeter cup. The final temperature of the system is 30.5°C. Calculate the specific heat of the alloy.
