A 360-G Metal Container,insulated on the Outside,holds 180

Multiple Choice

A 360-g metal container,insulated on the outside,holds 180.0 g of water in thermal equilibrium at 22.0°C.A 24.0-g ice cube,at the melting point,is dropped into the water,and when thermal equilibrium is reached the temperature is 15.0°C.Assume there is no heat exchange with the surroundings.For water,the specific heat capacity is 4190 J/kg ∙ K and the heat of fusion is 3.34 × 10⁵ J/kg.What is the specific heat capacity of the metal of the container?

A) 1700 J/kg ∙ K
B) 970 J/kg ∙ K
C) 2300 J/kg ∙ K
D) 2800 J/kg ∙ K
E) 3300 J/kg ∙ K
