Calculate the specific heat of the metal at a temperature

Reference no: EM13339589

An insulated metal vessel of mass 5.0 kg contains 20.1 kg of water. The vessel and its contents are in thermal contact, but are thermally insulated from their environment. A 2.5 kg piece of the same metal, intitally at a temperature of 190°C is dropped into the water. If the water temperature rises from 16.0°C to 17.8°C, calculate the specific heat of the metal.
