A 160-g metal container, insulated on the outside, holds 80 g of water in thermal equilibrium at 22.00°C. A 15-g ice cube, at the melting point, is dropped into the water, and when thermal equilibrium is reached the temperature is 15.00°C. Assume there is no heat exchange with the surroundings. For water, the specific heat is 4190 J/kg·K and the heat of fusion is 3.34 × 105 J/kg. The specific heat for the metal is closest to:

A. 4820 J/Kj*k

B. 3220 J/Kj*k

C. 3820 J/Kj*k

D. 2220 J/Kj*k

E. 4320 J/Kj*k
