Ideally when a thermometer is used to measure the


Ideally, when a thermometer is used to measure the temperature of an object, the temperature of the object itself should not change. However, if a significant amount of heat flows from the object to the thermometer, the temperature will change. A thermometer has a mass of 29.0 g, a specific heat capacity of c = 815 J/(kg · C°), and a temperature of 12.0° C. It is immersed in 119 g of water, and the final temperature of the water and thermometer is 42.2° C. What was the temperature of the water before the insertion of the thermometer?
