A student doing an experiment pours 0.500 kg of heated metal whose temperature is 98.0 °C into á 0.347 kg aluminum calorimeter cup containing 0.279 kg of water at 28.0 °C. The mixture (and the cup) comes to thermal equilibrium at 38.0 °C. The specific heat of the metal is J/kg °C. (specific heat of aluminum = 900 J/kg °C, specific heat of water = 4186 J/kg °C)
