A sample of aluminum, initially at 5.0 °C, was placed in 18.0 g of water, initially at 25.0 °C. The final temperature of the water and the metal was 21.0 °C. The specific heat of water is 4.184 J g-1 °C-1 and aluminum is 0.940 J g-1 °C-1. Ignore the heat capacity of the container. What is the mass (in g) of the aluminum?
