A particular sample of cold graphite at 10.20 °C was added to 988.5 g of water at 25.31 °C in a constant pressure calorimeter. If the final temperature of the graphite and water was 25.17 °C, what was the mass of the graphite sample? Assume no heat was lost to the surroundings. The specific heat for water is 4.184 J/g•°C and the specific heat for this graphite is 0.7069 J/g•°C.
