I'm really having trouble with chemistry homework... I dont want homework answers, I just want help on how to do something.
I have to find the specific heat of a Iron. I dont know how to do it. I also have to determine the heat gained by water that is in a calorimeter that had iron heated to 100C put into the calorimeter.
So basically, can somebody tell me how to find specific heat of water and of metal.
Also, it isnt just regular water, it is water heated at different temperatures.

The specific heat of the iron will be equal to the mass of the water times its increase in temperature divided by the mass of the iron times the difference between 100°C and the final temperature:
SH = Mw(Tf - Twi) / Mi(100 - Tf)
