A metal pellet with a mass of 120.0 g is originally at 191.12 °F, is dropped into 0.90 kg of water originally at 73.68 °F. The final temperature of both the pellet and the water is 37.23 °C. Calculate the specific heat capacity (in J/g°C) of the pellet. (Cp,#20 = 4. 184 J/g°C) Round the answer to the nearest 2 decimal places. Note: (°F - 32) × 5/9 = °C
