Chapter 6, Problem 88P(choose chapter or problem)
A 44.0-g sample of an unknown metal at \(99.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) was placed in a constant-pressure calorimeter containing 80.0 g of water at \(24.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). The final temperature of the system was found to be \(28.4^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). Calculate the specific heat of the metal. (The heat capacity of the calorimeter is \(12.4\ \mathrm{J} /{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\).)
