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 specife heat of the metal ?

A

`344 kg^(-1)C^(-1)`

B

`434 kg^(-1)C^(-1)`

C

`234 kg^(-1)C^(-1)`

D

`322 kg^(-1)C^(-1)`.
