In the laboratory a student uses a "coffee cup" calorimeter to determine the specific heat of a metal. She heats 19.9 grams of iron to 98.12°C and then drops it into a cup containing 77.7 grams of water at 20.85°C. She measures the final temperature to be 22.83°C. Assuming that all of the heat is transferred to the water, she calculates the specific heat of iron to be J/g°C.
