In an experiment on the specific heat of a metal, a \(0.20~\text{kg}\) block of the metal at \(150^{\circ}\text{C}\) is dropped in a copper calorimeter (of water equivalent of \(0.025~\text{kg}\)) containing \(150~\text{cm}^{3}\) of water at \(27^{\circ}\text{C}.\) The final temperature is \(40^{\circ}\text{C}.\) The specific heat of the metal will be:
(the heat losses to the surroundings are negligible)
1. \(0 . 40 ~ \text{Jg}^{- 1} \text{K}^{- 1}\)
2. \(0 . 43 ~ \text{Jg}^{- 1} \text{K}^{- 1}\)
3. \(0 . 54 ~ \text{Jg}^{- 1} \text{K}^{- 1}\)
4. \(0 . 61 ~ \text{Jg}^{- 1} \text{K}^{- 1}\)
