Question
**Transcription:**

An aluminum cup contains 225 g of water and a 40-g copper stirrer, all at 27°C. A 465-g sample of silver at an initial temperature of 86°C is placed in the water. The stirrer is used to stir the mixture gently until it reaches its final equilibrium temperature of 32°C. Calculate the mass of the aluminum cup.

**Explanation:**

This problem involves a classic thermodynamics scenario where you are asked to determine the mass of an aluminum cup using principles of heat transfer and equilibrium temperature.

- **Given:**
  - Water mass = 225 g
  - Copper stirrer mass = 40 g
  - Silver sample mass = 465 g
  - Initial temperature of water and copper = 27°C
  - Initial temperature of silver = 86°C
  - Final equilibrium temperature = 32°C

- **Objective:** Calculate the mass of the aluminum cup.

There are no graphs or diagrams in this image. The problem is purely text-based with a focus on applying heat transfer formulas to find the desired solution.
