The specific heat of a 100-g block of a substance is to be determined.The block is placed in a 25-g copper calorimeter holding 60 g of water at 20°C. Then, 120 mL of water at 80°C are added to the calorimeter. When thermal equilibrium is reached, the temperature of the system is 54°C. Determine the specific heat of the block.
