A 135.0-g sample of a metal at 153.0 °C is added to 255.0 g of ethylene glycol (specific heat = 2.43 J/g・ °C) in a calorimeter at 25.7 °C. The temperature of the ethylene glycol rises to 38.2 °C. Calculate the specific heat capacity of the metal, assuming that all the heat lost by the metal is gained by the ethylene glycol.
