A 285 g285 g silver figure of a polar bear is dropped into the 215 g215 g aluminum cup of a well‑insulated calorimeter containing 277 g277 g of liquid water at 23.3∘C.23.3∘C. The bear's initial temperature is 95.3∘C.95.3∘C. What is the final temperature of the water, cup, and bear when they reach thermal equilibrium? The specific heats of silver, aluminum, and liquid water are, respectively, 234 J/(kg·K),234 J/(kg·K), 910 J/(kg·K),910 J/(kg·K), and 4190 J/(kg·K).
