A 149.5-g sample of a metal at 75.5°C is added to 149.5 g H₂O at 15.6°C. The temperature of the water rises to 18.1°C. Calculate the specific heat capacity of the metal, assuming that all the heat lost by the metal is gained by the water. The specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 J/°C.g. Specific heat capacity = 0.056 J/°C-g
