The temperature of the water starts off at 21.0 C. When the temperature of the water stops changing it's 23.8 C. The pressure remains constant at 1 atm. Calculate the initial temperature of the aluminum sample. Be sure your answer is rounded to 2 significant digits. insulated container water -10 X ? sample a calorimeter
