The final temperature is 20.9 0C when a piece of silver with a mass of 26.8 grams at an initial temperature of 134 0 C is dropped into 200 grams of water at 20.0 0 C. What is the specific heat of the silver?

Cp of water is 4.18 J/g ● 0C

in 1783 cavendish was working with his hydrogen gas and found that when he burned it and condensed the vapor it was water. this was very significant since it disproved the greek theory of elements completely since water was not a simple substance but the product of two gases. it was lavoisier who hearing of the experiment gave cavendish's gas the name hydrogen ("water-producer") and added that hydrogen burned by combining with oxygen and that water was a hydrogen-oxygen combination.
