Calculate the specific heat of a metal (in calories/gram-degree C) from the following data. A container made of the metal has a mass of 3.20 kg and contains 13.1 kg of water. A 1.80 kg piece of the same metal, initially at a temperature of 120 degrees C, is placed in the water. The container and water initially have a temperature of 15 degrees C, and the final temperature of the entire system is 18 degrees C.
