You have 8.5 g of an unknown substance. To identify the substance, you decide to measure its specific heat and find that it requires 41.667 J of heat to increase the temperature of your sample by 38 K. What might this substance be?

Homework due in another hour, eh?
It's so 'gold' when you procrastinate and come here at the last possible minute!
Edit: It's gold. Specific heat of tungsten is 133 J/(kg-k). Simple math fail?
I gave the answer the first time around :/

By Q = m x s x ∆t
=>41.667 = 8.5 x s x 38
=>s = 0.129 J/(g-K)
=>Bismuth
=>41.667 = 8.5 x s x 38
=>s = 0.129 J/(g-K)
=>Bismuth
