Reference no: EM13648280

An unknown substance has a mass of 0.125 kg and an initialtemperature of 104.4°C. The substanceis then dropped into a calorimeter made of aluminum containing0.285 kg of water initially at 26.6°C.The mass of the aluminum container is 0.150 kg, and the temperatureof the calorimeter increases to a final equilibrium temperature of32.0°C. Assuming no thermal energy is transferred to theenvironment, calculate the specific heat of the unknown substance.
