A mass of 336.8 g with unknown composition is heated in an oven to a temperature of 312.14 °C. The mass is then dropped into a strong insulated calorimeter containing 949.4 g of water. The initial temperature of water is 11.36 °C. The final equlibrium temperature of the system is 15.78 °C. Assume that the mass and water are in an isolated system and the water does not vaporize. No heat is transferred to the water during this experiment. The specific heat of the water is 4190 J/kg-K. What is the specific heat of this unknown mass?
