-1 A 30.0 g sample of polyisoprene, which has a specific heat capacity of 1.880 J-g¹ºC, is dropped into an insulated container containing 250.0 g of water at 30.0 °C and a constant pressure of 1 atm. The initial temperature of the polyisoprene is 87.8 °C. Assuming no heat is absorbed from or by the container, or the surroundings, calculate the equilibrium temperature of the water. Be sure your answer has 3 significant digits.
