**Experiment 25: Specific Heat of a Metal**

**Objective:**
To determine the specific heat of an unknown metal using the calorimetry method.

**Formula:**
\[
\text{Specific Heat of a Metal} = \frac{{4184 \times \text{mass of water} \times \Delta T_{\text{water}}}}{{\text{mass of metal} \times \Delta T_{\text{metal}}}}
\]

**Data:**

- **Unknown No.:** [Unspecified]
  
**Trial 1:**

1. **Mass of Metal (g):** 24.857
2. **Temperature of Metal (Boiling Water) (°C):** 99.5
3. **Mass of Calorimeter (g):** 206.048
4. **Mass of Calorimeter + Water (g):** 225.475
5. **Mass of Water (g):** 19.428
6. **Temperature of Water in Calorimeter (°C):** 25.0
7. **Maximum Temperature of Metal and Water from Graph (°C):** 30.0

**Trial 2:**
