A 5.00-g piece of lead at 85.0C and a 20.00g piece of aluminum at 65.0C are placed into a container of cold 20.0C water. After the two metals have attained thermal equilibrium with each other and the water, a thermometer on the water reads 25.0C. The specific heat of aluminum is 0.897 J/gC. The specific heat of lead is 0.129 J/gC. The specific heat of water is 4.184 J/gC.
