An unknown metal of mass $192 \, g$ heated to a temperature of $100 \, ^oC$ was immersed into a brass calorimeter of mass $128 \, g$ containing $240 \, g$ of water at a temperature of $8.4 \, ^oC$. Calculate the specific heat of the unknown metal if the water temperature stabilizes at $21.5 \, ^oC$. (Specific heat of brass is $394 \, J \, kg^{-1} \, K^{-1}$, specific heat of water is $4186 \, J \, kg^{-1} \, K^{-1}$) ......... $J \, kg^{-1} \, K^{-1}$

The specific heat of alcohol is about half that of water. Suppose you have identical masses of alcohol and water. The alcohol is initially at temperature $T_A$. The water is initially at a different temperature $T_W$. Now the two fluids are mixed in the same container and allowed to come into thermal equilibrium,with no loss of heat to the surroundings. The final temperature of the mixture will be
