Mass of solid,

m1 = 56.25g = 0.05625kg

Temperature of Solid

373K

Mass of water (in polystyrene cup),

m2 = 114.45g = 0.11445kg

Temperature of water (in cup),

T1 = 32.7oC = 305.7K

Temperature of water addition of solid,

T2 = 34.7oC = 307.7K

Specific heat capacity of metal,

c1 = x

Specific heat capacity of water,

c2 = 4200J kg-1 K-1

Calculations:
Heat lost by solid in cooling from 100oC to T2 = Heat gained by water
warming from T1 to T2.
Hence,

m1 c1(100oC - T2) = m2 c2(T2 - T1)

0.05626 kg X (373K 307.7K) = 0.11445kg x 4200J kg-1 K-1 x
