A 5.0 g sample of a metal is heated to 80.0oC and placed in a 100. g sample of water. The temperature of the water rises from 20.0 oC to 20.3 oC. Which of these is most likely to be the metal?

You find the heat lost by the sample=heat gained by the waterms(decrease in temperature of the sample)=ms(increase in water temperature)m is mass , s is specific heat.solve for specific heat of the sample and from the table of the s values identify the sample
