What is the specific heat of metal and type of metal used


A 0.500 kg chunk of metal that has been in boiling water for several minutes (i.e. its temperature is 100 degrees celcius) is dropped into an insulating styrofoam beaker containing 1.00 kg of water at 20 degrees celcius. After waiting and gently stirring for 5.00 minutes, you observe that the waters temperature has reached a constant temperature of 22 degrees celcius. Assuming that the styrofoam has absorbed a negligible amount of heat and that no heat was lost to the surroundings, what is the specific heat of the metal? Using the table for specific heat, what is the most likely metal used?
