Estimate the specific heat of the unknown sample

Reference no: EM13343529

An aluminum calorimeter with a mass of 100 g contains 250 g of water. The calorimeter and water are in thermal equilibrium at 10.0°C. Two metallic blocks are placed into the water. One is a 100.0-g piece of copper at 50.0°C. The other has a mass of 70.0 g and is originally at a temperature of 100°C. The entire system stabilizes at a final temperature of 20.0°C.

(a) Determine the specific heat of the unknown sample. need you answer in J/kg · °C.
