A 90-g aluminum calorimeter contains 390 g of water at an


Here is the problem which I am struggling on, please help me!

Problem: A 90-g aluminum calorimeter contains 390 g of water at an equilibrium temperature of 20°C. A 160-g piece of metal, initially at 305°C, is added to the calorimeter. The final temperature at equilibrium is 32°C. Assume there is no external heat exchange. The specific heat capacities of aluminum and water are 910 J/kg • K (aluminum) and 4190 J/kg • K (water).

1- What is the specific heat capacity of the 160-g piece of metal?

I need tutor help to solve the above problem.
