In a calorimetry experiment in a Chemistry for Engineers Laboratory class, a 12.9 - g sample of aluminum  is heated in a water bath until its temperature is 93 degrees Celsius. It is quickly transferred to a coffee - cup calorimeter containing 50 mL water whose temperature is 27.7 degrees Celsius. The calorimeter was covered and the final temperature of both aluminum and water was read. What is the final temperature, in Celsius, of the two substances rounded off to the second decimal place? The specific heat of aluminum and water are 0.88 J/g °C and 4.184 J/g °C, respectively.
