Lana is using a calorimeter to determine the specific heat of a metallic sample. She measures out 194.0 grams of her metal and heats it to 86.3 degrees Celsius. Then, she puts the sample into a calorimeter containing 13.91 grams of water at 44.2 degrees Celsius. She measures the temperature of the water in the calorimeter until the number stops changing, then records the final temperature to be 67.3 degrees Celsius. What is the specific heat of the metal? Please answer to three digits after the decimal point and include units.
