A sample of iridium weighing 123 grams is heated to 100.0 oC . The iridium sample is quickly transferred to a cold water bath containing 50.0 g of water at 17.5 oC. The temperature of the cold water bath rises to 23.0 oC. Calculate the specific heat of iridium. Help Please!!! :)

the enthalpy of formation of water is given as -285.8kj/mol, which states that the enthalpy of formation is negative.

negative enthalpy of formation indicates that the heat is released during the reaction process. the heat is released from reaction to the surroundings the enthalpy is expressed with a negative sign with the energy given out in the reaction process.

the formation of water takes place by giving out heat which is -285.8 kj/mol.

i wish i could but this one is weird give me abc and i can solve it.
