To determine the specific heat of an object a student heats


To determine the specific heat of an object, a student heats it to 100 degrees C in boiling water. She then places the 110 g object in a 172 g aluminum calorimeter containing 148 g of water. The aluminum and water are initially at a temperature of 19.6 degrees, and are thermally insulated from their surroundings.

If the final temperature is 23.8 degrees, what is the specific heat of the object?
