Determining the specific heat of the unknown mass


A mass of 349.7 g having unknown composition is heated in an oven to a temperature of around 307.71 °C. The mass is then dropped to a strong insulated calorimeter having 896.5 g of water. The initial temperature of water is around12.49 °C. The final equilibrium temperature of the system is around 16.89 °C. Suppose that the mass and water are in an isolated system and the water doesn’t vaporize. No heat is transferred to the water throughout this experiment. The specific heat of water is around 4190 J/kg-K. Determine the specific heat of this unknown mass?
