Problem

An insulated calorimeter initially holds 250 g of water at 20 °C. The calorimeter has a heat capacity of 150 J °C⁻¹. A 120 g sample of metal M at 150 °C is added, and the system reaches equilibrium at 28 °C. What is the specific heat capacity of metal M? a) 0.61  J g−1 ∘C−10.61\;\text{J g}^{-1}\,^{\circ}\text{C}^{-1} b) 0.65  J g−1 ∘C−10.65\;\text{J g}^{-1}\,^{\circ}\text{C}^{-1} c) 0.90  J g−1 ∘C−10.90\;\text{J g}^{-1}\,^{\circ}\text{C}^{-1} d) 0.57  J g−1 ∘C−10.57\;\text{J g}^{-1}\,^{\circ}\text{C}^{-1}
