You wish to cool a 1.83 kg block of brass initially at 92.0°C to a temperature of 49.0°C by placing it in a container of water initially at 20.0°C. Determine the volume (in L) of the liquid needed in order to accomplish this task without boiling. The density and specific heat of water are respectively 1,000 kg/m3 and 4,186 J/(kg · °C), and the specific heat of brass is 380 J/(kg · °C)
