The following data were collected in the laboratory to determine the specific heat of an unknown metal:
Mass of copper calorimeter ............. 153 g
Specific heat of calorimeter ............. 0.092 cal/g °C
Mass of water ................. 275 g
Specific heat of water .............. 1.00 cal/g °C
Mass of metal ................. 236 g
Initial temperature of water and calorimeter ...... 16.2°C
Initial temperature of metal .............. 99.6°C
Final temperature of calorimeter, water, and metal .... 22.7°C
Find the specific heat of the unknown metal.
