An aluminum can of mass 0.14kg contains water at 17.5°C. Iron pellets with a total mass of 6.3kg at 85.1°C are dropped into the can, and the can and it's contents come to equilibrium af 32.9°C. Specific heat of water = 4190 J/(kg•°C). Specific heat of aluminum = 910 J/(kg•°C). Specific heat of iron = 470 J/(kg•°C).  how many kilograms of water are in the can? (3 sig fig)
