initial temperature of 20 °C) in a calorimeter. The final temperature of the system is 52.1°C. The specific heat of water is 4.184 J/g*⁰C. What is the specific heat of the metal?

The piece of unknown metal is in thermal equilibrium with water such that Q of metal is equal to Q of the water. We write this equality as follows:

-Qm = Qw
Mass of metal (Cm)(ΔT) = Mass of water (Cw) (ΔT)

where C is the specific heat capacities of the materials.

We calculate as follows:

-(Mass of metal (Cm)(ΔT)) = Mass of water (Cw) (ΔT)
-68.6 (Cm)(52.1 - 100) = 42 (4.184) (52.1 - 20)
Cm = 1.717 -----> OPTION C

Solve 10 3/4 - 6 4/5
MAXImum [283]
Alright, so the first thing I would do is find the LCM of the dividends, which is 20.  So we have 10 15/20 and 6 16/20.  You can either leave it there and just carry the one (20 in this case) for 3 19/20.
If you multiply 10 by 20 and add 15, or 6 by 20 and add 16 (which I think is easier) you get 215/20 - 136/20 = 79/20.  It can be simplified from here if you teacher wants it in the future.
