A metal block of unknown mass \(m\) (in kg) has a specific heat capacity of \(0.385\ \text{kJ·kg}^{-1}\text{K}^{-1}\). The block is heated to \(150^{\circ}\text{C}\) and then placed into \(0.5\ \text{kg}\) of water at \(20^{\circ}\text{C}\) (specific heat capacity \(4.18\ \text{kJ·kg}^{-1}\text{K}^{-1}\)) in an insulated container. After thermal equilibrium the temperature of the system is \(30^{\circ}\text{C}\). Assuming no heat loss to the surroundings, determine the mass \(m\) of the metal block (to two decimal places).

A. 0.35 kg
B. 0.65 kg
Correct Answer C. 0.45 kg
D. 0.55 kg
Correct Answer
