In an experiment to determine the specific heat of a metal, a student transferred a sample of the metal that was heated in boiling water into room-temperature water in an insulated cup. The student recorded the temperature of the water after thermal equilibrium was reached. The data are shown in the table above. Based on the data, what is the calculated heat q absorbed by the water reported with the appropriate number of significant figures?.

The  equilibrium temperature can be used to determine the amount of heat transferred.

Heat transfer

The question is incomplete but I will try to explain to you the principle of heat transfer. Heat is a form of energy that exists due to temperature difference between two bodies. A calorimeter is used to measure the heat absorbed or emitted.

When the metal from boiling water was transferred to water at room temperature, heat was transferred to it and a thermal equilibrium was attained. This equilibrium temperature can now be used to determine the amount of heat transferred.
