Instead of chasing the Roadrunner, Wile E.
Coyote thinks he may have found his retirement
plan! He found a 2.61 g sample of a shiny
substance, and he thinks it may be pure gold. The
substance was warmed to 73.90 °C and submerged
into 15.2 g of water initially at 24.90 °C. The final
temperature of the mixture is 26.90 °C.
