A 100 g aluminum calorimeter contains 250 g of water. The two substances are in thermal equilibrium at 10°C. Two metallic blocks are placed in the water. One is a 50 g piece of copper at 82°C. The other sample has a mass of 78 g and is originally at a temperature of 100°C. The entire system stabilizes at a final temperature of 20°C. Determine the specific heat of the unknown second sample.

An iron calorimeter of mass 153 g contains 260 g of water. The system is in thermal equilibrium at +10°C. We place two blocks of metal in the water: one is a 45 g piece of copper with an initial temperature of +61°C; the second piece has a mass of 75 g and is initially at +100°C. The combined system reaches a final equilibrium temperature of +41°C. Calculate the specific heat capacity of the unknown second piece of metal.
