During an experiment, 98 g of water is used in the Styrofoam cup. The initial temperature of water was 23.7°C. A 39.9-g piece of metal with initial temperature of 100.3°C (after removing from the boiling water) is added to the calorimeter. The final temperature of water was 28.2°C. a) Calculate the specific heat of the metal. b) Identify the metal c) Calculate the percent error.
