A 100-g aluminum calorimeter contains 500 g of water at a temperature of 20ºC. Then a 140-g piece of metal, initially at 344ºC, is added to the calorimeter. The metal, water, and calorimeter reach an equilibrium temperature of 32ºC. What is the specific heat capacity of the metal? The specific heat capacity of aluminum is 910 J/kg ∙ K, and of water is 4190 J/kg ∙ K.

580 J/kg ∙ K
495 J/kg ∙ K
601 J/kg ∙ K
