You need to use q = mc (delta t)

Solve for c:

c = q / m (delta t)

q = 55. o J

m = 11.0 g

delta t = 24.5 - 13.0 = 11.5 deg C

c = 55 J / 11.0 g) (11.5 C)

c = 0.435 J / g C

It takes 53.0 J to raise the temperature of an 11.0 g piece of unknown metal from 13.0∘C to 24.2 ∘c. What is the specific heat for the metal?
