Answer : The specific heat of the metal is,
Explanation :
In this problem we assumed that heat given by the hot body is equal to the heat taken by the cold body.
where,
= specific heat of metal = ?
= specific heat of ice =
= mass of metal = 1.00 kg
= mass of ice = 1.00 kg
= final temperature of mixture =
= initial temperature of metal =
= initial temperature of ice =
Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:
Therefore, the specific heat of the metal is,
