A 30.0 g piece of metal at

10^\circ\text{C}

is placed into 120.0 g of water at

40^\circ\text{C}

in an insulated container. The specific heats are

c_{\text{metal}}=0.80\ \text{J g}^{-1}\!\!\cdot\!^\circ\text{C}^{-1}

and

c_{\text{water}}=4.18\ \text{J g}^{-1}\!\!\cdot\!^\circ\text{C}^{-1}

. Heat lost equals heat gained. Which statement is correct about the signs of

q

for each substance (taking

q>0

as heat gained by the substance)?
