    The answer to your question is Cm = 2.093 J/kg°C

    Explanation:

    Data

    mass metal = mass of water

    Δ water = 5°

    Δ metal = 10°

    Cm = ?

    Cw = 4.186 J/Kg°C

    Formula

    for metal for water

    mCmΔTm = mCwΔTw

    Cancel mass of metal

    Cm ΔTm = CwΔTw

    solve for Cm

    Cm = (CwΔTw) / ΔTm

    Substitution

    Cm = (4.186 x 5) / 10

    Simplification

    Cm = 20.93 / 10

    Result

    Cm = 2.093 J/kg°C
