    Which metal is this (specific heat already calculated)?
    I've got the specific heat of a metal for three trials.

    t1= .186 j/gdegrees C
    t2= .178 j/gdegrees C
    t3=.128j/gdegrees C

    the mean of the specific heat is .164 j/gdegrees C

    we're supposed to find which metal it is from a "CRC" handbook. I've tried and can't find any metal with this specific heat. Help.

    it may be lead, but I'd like your opinion just to double check.

    Do not double post your question. I already answered it in the Math-Sciences board.
