Answer:

Co.metal = maCp.ca/AIcal

Step-by-step explanation:

In this equation, "Co" represents the specific heat of the metal, "m" is the mass of the metal, "Cp" is the specific heat capacity of the metal, "ca" is the change in temperature of the metal, and "AIcal" is the amount of heat added or removed from the metal.

The other equations you listed do not include all of the necessary variables to calculate the specific heat of a metal.
