120g of a solid initially at 245 kelvin was carefully dropped into water in a calorimeter at 280 kelvin. If the final constant temperature of the water and solid was 254kelvin and the water is 750g, determine the specific heat capacity of the solid. Assume the heat absorbed by the calorimeter to be negligible. Take the specific heat capacity of water to be 4200jkg-1k -1. (5marks)
