Calculate the specific heat of the metal

Reference no: EM13323775

The specific heat of a certain metal can be determined by measuring the temperature change that occurs when a piece of the metal is heated and then placed in an insulated container that is made of the same material and contains water. Suppose the piece of metal has a mass of 118 g and is initially at 100°C. The container has a mass of 160 g and contains 599 g of water at an initial temperature of 20.0°C. The final temperature is 21.4°C. What is the specific heat of the metal?
