Question

An irregular lump of an unknown metal has a measured density of 4.594.59 g/mL. The metal is heated to a temperature of 197197 °C and placed in a graduated cylinder filled with 25.025.0 mL of water at 25.025.0 °C. After the system has reached thermal equilibrium, the volume in the cylinder is read at 33.333.3 mL, and the temperature is recorded as 45.445.4 °C. What is the specific heat of the unknown metal sample? Assume no heat is lost to the surroundings.
