Question

7. Calculate the specific heat of an unknown metal that gave the following data: Volume of H2O = 50 mL Initial H2O temp = 19.8 °C Initial metal temp = 100 °C Final temp = 27.3 °C Mass of metal = 23.7622 g 8. Given the specific heat you calculated for the unknown metal in problem 7, is the metal most likely to be aluminum, copper, gold or iron? (You can Google the specific heats of metals, just search "specific heat of metals chart"!)
