Calorimetry: A lab assistant drops a 400.0-g piece of metal at 100.0°C into a 100.0-g aluminum cup containing 500.0 g of water at 15.0°C. In a few minutes, she measures the final temperature of the system to be 40.0°C. What is the specific heat of the 400.0-g piece of metal, assuming that no significant heat is exchanged with the surroundings? The specific heat of this aluminum is 900.0 J/kg ? K and that of water is 4186 J/kg ? K.
