**Determining the Specific Heat of a Metal Using a Calorimeter**In this laboratory experiment, a student employs a "coffee cup" calorimeter to ascertain the specific heat capacity of a metal. The procedure involves the following steps:- The student heats 19.9 grams of iron to a temperature of 98.12°C.- The heated iron is then introduced into a cup containing 77.7 grams of water, which is initially at 20.85°C.- The resulting final temperature of the water, after thermal equilibrium is reached, is measured to be 22.83°C.Given the assumption that all heat from the iron is transferred to the water, the student computes the specific heat capacity of iron, expressed in Joules per gram per degree Celsius (J/g°C). This setup demonstrates the principles of heat transfer and energy conservation in a calorimetric process.

- The heated iron is then introduced into a cup containing 77.7 grams of water, which is initially at 20.85°C.
- The resulting final temperature of the water, after thermal equilibrium is reached, is measured to be 22.83°C.

Given the assumption that all heat from the iron is transferred to the water, the student computes the specific heat capacity of iron, expressed in Joules per gram per degree Celsius (J/g°C).
