A 50.0g thermometer is used to measure the temperature of 180g of water. The specific heat of the thermometer, which is mostly glass, is 750J/(kg?K) , and it reads 22?C while lying on the table.After being completely immersed in the water, the thermometer's reading stabilizes at 71 degrees celcius.

What was the actual water temperature before it was measured?
