MEDIUM
IMPORTANT

An unknown solid of mass 500 g of solid at 30 oC is allowed to sink in 2 L of water at 5 oC. Calculate the specific heat of the unknown solid in the units of cal g-1 oC-1if the final temperature of water becomes 20 oC. Specific heat of water is 1 cal g-1 oC-1 and density of water is 1 g/cc.
