A lab instructor performs an experiment using an aluminum cup that contains 225 g of water and a 130 g copper stirrer, all initially at 27.0°C. (Note that the student wears insulated gloves when handling the stirrer.) The lab instructor then adds a sample of silver to the water. The sample has a mass of 450 g and is initially at a temperature of 86.0°C. After stirring the mixture until it reaches thermal equilibrium, the lab instructor measures a final temperature of 32.0°C. What is the mass (in g) of the aluminum cup?
The answer that I was given is actually incorrect.
