A copper calorimeter of mass 50g contains 100g of water at 20°C. A metallic piece of mass 250 g is heated to 100°C and is then dropped into the calorimeter. The contents of the calorimeter are well stirred and its final highest temperature is recorded to be 28 °C. If the specific heat capacity of water is 4.2 J/g°C and of copper is 0.4 J/g°C, find:
(i) the heat gained by water,
(ii) the heat gained by calorimeter,
(iii) total heat supplied by the metal piece, and
(iv) the specific heat capacity of metal.
