When a 45.0 g sample of a certain metal at 100.0 °C is dropped into a coffee cup calorimeter containing 100.0 g of water at 25.0 °C, the thermal equilibrium is reached at 37.0 °C. What is the specific heat of the metal? The specific heat of H2O(l) is 4.184 J·g–1·°C–1. Assume no heat is lost to the walls of the cup and to the surroundings.
