Determine the heat capacity of the sample of metal

Reference no: EM13675067

You heat a 0.45 kilogram sample of metal to a temperature of 80o then quickly transfer it into a beaker that contains 0.70 kilogram of water at 15^o. The specific heat capacity of water is 4200 J/kg degree. The highest temperature of the sample plus the water is 21^o. Determine the heat capacity of the sample of metal.
