Question

an insulated container is used to hold 42.90g of water at 17.70 degree celsius a sample of copper weighing 8.90g is placed in a dry test tube and heated for 30 minutes in a boiling water bath at 100.10 degree celsius the heated test tube is carefully removed from the water bath with laboratory tongs and inclined so that the copper slides into the water in the insulated container. given that the specific heat of solid copper is .385 J/(g degree celsius)calculate the maximum temperature of the water in the insulated container after the copper metal is added. in degree celsius.
