i found the average specific heat of a metal through an experiment it is 200. my only problem now is identifying it. i have tried many website but can't find anything useful please make some suggestions

You do not mention the units of the specific heat that you found. Perhaps your inability to find a match has to do with your use of unconventional units. I trust that you have checked your calculations and assumptions more than once.

What's the experimental error on that value? If you're looking for a perfect match, you won't find one because the error in these types of experiments can be quite large.
