A piece of metal weighing 68.7 was heated to 100.0 °C and then put it into 100.0 mL of water (initially at 23.7 °C). The metal and water were allowed to come to an equilibrium temperature, determined to be 27.8 °C. The specific heat of water is 4.184 J/g°C. Assuming no heat is lost to the environment, calculate the specific heat of the metal.?
