In the physics lab, a student performs the following experience: in a calorimeter heat capacity 10cal / C containing 150 grams of water (specific heat = 1 cal / g C) at 20 C, it places a block of aluminum (specific heat = 0 , 2 cal / g C) 100 g 100 C. A few minutes after the thermal equilibrium, the student finds that the system temperature is 28 C. The heat loss from the system until the instant it is measured that temperature was:
a) 288 cal
b) 168cal
c) 160cal
d) 152cal
e) 120cal
