To determine the specific heat of an object, a student heats it to 100 °C in boiling water. She then places the 38.0-g object in a 155-g aluminum calorimeter containing 103 g of water. The aluminum and water are initially at a temperature of 20.0 °C, and are thermally insulated from their surroundings. If the final temperature is 22.0 °C, what is the specific heat of the object? Referring to Table 16-2, identify the material in the object.
