A beaker with 220g water is at 90 oC. A student adds a 90g sample of an unknown metal and a 30g ice cube (both at 0 oC) into the beaker. The mixture finishes at 64.7 oC. What is the specific heat of the metal dropped in?​

conduction is the transfer of thermal energy (heat in transfer) due to collisions between the molecules in the object. collisions between adjacent atoms and molecules transfer kinetic energy from the warmer to the cooler object. the objects must be in physical contact.
