To a sample of water at 23.4°C in a constant-pressure
Chapter 6, Problem 36P(choose chapter or problem)
To a sample of water at \(23.4^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) in a constant-pressure calorimeter of negligible heat capacity is added a 12.1-g piece of aluminum whose temperature is \(81.7^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). If the final temperature of water is \(24.9^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), calculate the mass of the water in the calorimeter. (Hint: See Table 6.2.)
