A metal sample weighing 43.5 g and at a temperature of 100.0

A metal sample weighing 43.5 g and at a temperature of 100.0 °C was placed in 39.9 g of water in a calorimeter at 25.1 °C. At equilibrium the temperature of the water and metal was 33.5 °C. a. What was ΔT for the water? (ΔT = Tfinal - Tinitial) b. What was ΔT for the metal? c. Using the specific heat of water (4.184 J/g °C), calculate how much heat flowed into the water? d. Calculate the specific heat of the metal.
