A calorimeter has a heat capacity of 165 J/K. 195 g of water are placed in it; water has a specific heat of 4.184 J/(g·°C). The water and calorimeter have an initial temperature of 20.0°C. 40.1 g of a metal are placed in the water; the metal has a heat capacity of 1.05 J/(g·°C) and an initial temperature of 359°. Over time, the system is allowed to gain 6930 J of heat. What is the final temperature of the system (in degrees Celsius; enter units as degC)?
