Find the specific heat of the object

Reference no: EM13339106

An object of mass 50.5 g is initially placed in boiling water so that it is at 101° C. Then the object is dropped into a calorimeter, consisting of 103 g of water in an aluminum cup of mass 143 g, thermally insulated from the surroundings. The initial temperature of the calorimeter is 18.8° C and the final temperature is 40.8° C. Find the specific heat of the object.
