Calculate the specific heat capacity of silver


An "ice calorimeter" can be used to calculate the specific heat of a metal. A piece of hot metal is dropped onto a weighed quantity of ice. The energy transferred from the metal to the ice can be measured from the amount of ice melted. Assume you heat a 70.0g piece of silver to 99.8 degrees C and then drop it onto ice. Calculate the specific heat capacity of silver when the metal's temperature has dropped to 0.0 degrees C; it is found that 7.97 grams of ice had melted.
