In the laboratory a student uses a "coffee cup" calorimeter to determine the specific heat of a metal. She heats 18.1 grams of gold to 99.01°C and then drops it into a cup containing 78.5 grams of water at 21.65°C. She measures the final temperature to be 22.18°C. Assuming that all of the heat is transferred to the water, she calculates the specific heat of gold to be [ 3/g°C.
