A 0.5\,kg metal block at \(150^{\circ}\text{C}\) is placed into 1.0\,kg of water at \(20^{\circ}\text{C}\) contained in an insulated vessel. After equilibrium the temperature of the system is \(30^{\circ}\text{C}\). It is known that \(10\%\) of the heat released by the metal is lost to the surroundings. Given the specific heat capacity of water is \(4186\ \text{J\,kg}^{-1}\text{K}^{-1}\), determine the specific heat capacity of the metal in \(\text{J\,kg}^{-1}\text{K}^{-1}\).

Answer Options

A. 6.5e2 J·kg⁻¹·K⁻¹
B. 1.0e3 J·kg⁻¹·K⁻¹
Correct Answer C. 7.8e2 J·kg⁻¹·K⁻¹
D. 9.2e2 J·kg⁻¹·K⁻¹
Correct Answer
C
Correct Option:
7.8e2 J·kg⁻¹·K⁻¹
