In an experiment on the specific heat of a metal, a 0.20 kg block of the metal at 150^(@)C is dropped in a copper calorimeter (of water equivalent 0.025 kg) containing 150" cm"^(3) of water at 27^(@)C . The final temperature is 40^(@)C . Compute the specific heat of the metal. If heat losses to the surroundings are not negligible, is your answer greater or smaller than the actual value for specific heat of the metal ?
