A 18.0 g sample of an unknown metal is heated to 80°C. This heated metal is placed into a calorimeter that contains 65.0 g of water at 20°C. The final temperature of the unknown metal and the water is 23.38°C. The graph below shows the change in temperature of the metal and the water during the course of the reaction.      Answer each of the following. Partial credit may be granted where work is provided. 1) Which substance gains heat, the unknown metal or the water? Explain your answer. 2) How much heat is transferred during this process? Report your final answer in kJ. 3) What is the specific heat capacity of the unknown metal? Report your answer in J/gC.
