What is the specific heat of the metal in an experiment where a 0.20 kg block of the metal at 150 °C is dropped into a copper calorimeter (with a water equivalent of 0.025 kg) containing 150 cm3 of water at 27 °C, resulting in a final temperature of 40 °C?

Options

1. AThe specific heat of the metal is greater than the actual value.
2. BThe specific heat of the metal is smaller than the actual value.
3. CThe specific heat of the metal is equal to the actual value.
4. DThe specific heat of the metal cannot be determined from the information given.
