Two substances, iron and granite, initially at different temperatures, come into contact and reach thermal equilibrium. The mass of iron is 12.1 g and its initial temperature is 73.1 °C. The mass of granite is 19.2 g and its initial temperature is 20.3 C. What is the final temperature of both substances at thermal equilibrium? (The specific heat capacity of iron is 0.449 J/(g C); the specific heat capacity of granite is 0.79 J/(g C).)
