In the laboratory a student determines the specific heat of a metal. He heats 19.9 grams of chromium to 98.25 °C and then drops it into an insulated cup containing 82.7 grams of water at 23.57 °C. When thermal equilibrium is reached, he measures the final temperature to be 25.52 °C. Assuming that all of the heat is transferred to the water, he calculates the specific heat of chromium to be Submit Answer J/g°C.
