A samples with a mass of 35 grams and a temperature of 97.3 degree c is placed into 75.0 g of water at 19.7 degree c. The final temperature is 22.3 degree c, what is the specific heat of the sample?

heat lost by sample + heat gained by water = 0
[mass sample x specific heat sample x (Tfinal-Tinitial)] + [mass H2O x specific heat H2O x (Tfinal-Tinitial)] = 0
