Explain the experimentally determined specific heat

Reference no: EM13507125

In a calorimetry experiment, the heat capacity of lead was investigated. A 48 g sample of lead was heated to 100 degrees C and then poured into 50 g of water with an initial temperature of 25.2 degrees C. The final temperature of the mixture was 27 degrees C. What was the experimentally determined specific heat of lead? You may assume that the heat absorbed by the calorimeter was negligible.
