A coffee-cup calorimeter contains 50 mL of water with an initial temperature of 24.8°C. An unknown sample with a mass of 1.972 grams was placed inside making the water temperature rise up to 25.5°C. The initial temperature of the metal was 98.3°C. (Water: density = 1g/mL ; specific heat = 4.184 J/g-°C). 2. What is the specific heat (in Jlg-°C) of the unknown sample?.
