A 25 g cube of metal was heated in a hot temperature bath to 80oC and then added to 50 mL of deionized water.

Using the following graph, explain how you would determine the temperature change that has occurred in the system.

The metal was added to the calorimeter (Styrofoam cup with water) at 180 seconds. What is the initial temperature of the water and the metal? What is the final temperature of the metal and the water?   What occurred when the hot metal was added to the cooler water?

Calculate the heat absorbed by the water and the heat given off by the metal, and

Determine the specific heat and possible identity of the metal.
