Calculate the maximum temperature of the water


An insulated container is used to hold 45.60g of water at 39.70 degrees Celcius. A sample of copper weighing 8.50g is placed in a dry test tube and heated for 30 minutes in a boiling water bath at 100.10 degrees Celcius. The heated test tube is crefully 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 0.385J/(g x degrees Celcius), calculate the maximum temperature of the water in the insulated container after the copper metal is added.
