Initially, 8.5 kg of a metal is heated to 130°C. Then, you place the heated metal in a 3.4 kg aluminum caloriemeter that contains 7 kg of water. The aluminum and water are initially at 19.4 °C, after a while, the final temperature of the whole system is 21°C. Find the specific heat of the unknown metal. Use the table to guide you. Substance Specific Heat (kJ/kg) Freezing Point (K) Boiling Point (K) Heat of Fusion (kJ/kg) Heat of Vaporization (kJ/kg) Water 273 373 333 2256 4.18 (liquid) 1.87 (gas) Aluminum 0.900 933 2792 397 10900
