10 g of a piece of metal is taken by a student to find its specific heat capacity. Metal is tied with a string and suspended it above boiling water that is at 100 °C. Sufficient time is allowed for metal to reach the temperature of boiling water. Also, with a graduated cylinder, 10 ml of distilled water is transferred in a test tube and its temperature is measured as 25 °C. After 10 minutes, metal which is over the boiling water is taken and put into water that is in the test tube. 5 minutes later, temperature of water in the test tube is measured as 32 °C. Calculate the specific heat capacity of metal. (Specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 J/g. °C and density of water is 1 g/ml)

10 g of a piece of metal is taken by a student to find its specific heat capacity. Metal is tied with a string and suspended it above
boiling water that is at 100 °C. Sufficient time is allowed for metal to reach the temperature of boiling water. Also, with a
graduated cylinder, 10 ml of distilled water is transferred in a test tube and its temperature is measured as 25 °C. After 10
minutes, metal which is over the boiling water is taken and put into water that is in the test tube. 5 minutes later, temperature of
water in the test tube is measured as 32 °C. Calculate the specific heat capacity of metal. (Specific heat capacity of water is
4.18 J/g. °C and density of water is 1 g/ml)
