70g of a solid initially at 25^oC was carefully dropped into water in a calorimeter at 60^oC. If the final
constant temperature of the water and the solid was 54^oC and the mass of water is 500g, determine the
specific heat capacity of the solid. Assume the heat absorbed by the calorimeter to be negligible. Take the s.h.c. of water = 4200JKg-1K-1.

Heat lost = heat gained
mwcw??w = mscs??s
0.5Kg * 4200JKg-1K-1 * (60-54) K = 0.07kg * cs * (54-25) K
Cs = 29400J / 5.73KgK = 1O, 767.23 JKg-1K-1
