Answer:
Explanation:
When the sample of hot metal is placed inside the water, the metal gives off heat to the water: the temperature of the metal decreases while the temperature of the water increases, until the two reach an equilibrium temperature.
The heat given off by the metal is equal (in magnitude) to the heat absorbed by the water, so we can write:
where:
is the mass of the metal
is the specific heat of the metal
is the initial temperature of the metal
is the equilibrium temperature
is the mass of the water
is the specific heat of water
is the initial temperature of the water
And solving for , we find the specific heat of the metal:
