Which of the following materials is used to make a calorimeter?

Steam at $100^{\circ} C$ is passed into $1 \, kg$ of water contained in a calorimeter at $9^{\circ} C$ until the temperature of the water and calorimeter increases to $90^{\circ} C$. The mass of the steam condensed is nearly (water equivalent of calorimeter $= 0.1 \, kg$, specific heat of water $= 1 \, cal \cdot g^{-1} \cdot {}^{\circ} C^{-1}$, and latent heat of vaporisation $= 540 \, cal \cdot g^{-1}$). (in $g$)

At a power station,heat is removed from the heat exchanger by cooling water at $6.7 \times 10^9 \ J$ per minute. The cooling water enters at $6.0 \ ^oC$ and leaves at $14.0 \ ^oC$. [Take the specific heat capacity of water $4200 \ J/kg \ ^oC$]. Which of the following is the rate of water flow?

Calorimeters are made of which of the following materials?

An unknown metal of mass $192 \, g$ heated to a temperature of $100 \, ^oC$ was immersed into a brass calorimeter of mass $128 \, g$ containing $240 \, g$ of water at a temperature of $8.4 \, ^oC$. Calculate the specific heat of the unknown metal if the water temperature stabilizes at $21.5 \, ^oC$. (Specific heat of brass is $394 \, J \, kg^{-1} \, K^{-1}$, specific heat of water is $4186 \, J \, kg^{-1} \, K^{-1}$) ......... $J \, kg^{-1} \, K^{-1}$
