A student conducts an experiment to determine the specific heat of a substance. The student uses a water bath to increase the temperature of a metal by 50^°C. He then placed the metal in a cup with 100 mL of water and the temperature of the water rose by 10°C. If the metal had a mass of 33 grams, and 836.55 Joules of energy was released what is the specific heat of the metal?

• 2.535 J/g^°C
• 4184 J/g^°C
• 1650 J/g^°C
• 3.3 J/g^°C
