Calorimeter can be used to identify a metal by determining its specific heat when a hot pellet of the metal is added to cold water. Calculate the specific heat of a metal pellet given the following data: Mass of water 100. g Initial Temperature of the water 24.52°c Final Temperature of the water = 26.35°C Specific Heat of Water = 4.184 %3D Mass of pellet 33.2 g Initial Temperature of the metal 96.26°C Final Temperature of the metal 26.35°C
