A 60.0 g sample of iron is put into a calorimeter (see sketch at right) that contains 300.0 g of water. The iron sample starts off at 98.3 °C and the temperature of the water starts off at 22.0 °C. When the temperature of the water stops changing it's 24.1 °C. The pressure remains constant at 1 atm. Calculate the specific heat capacity of iron according to this experiment.
