An isolated insulated cylinder contains 15.40 grams of neon gas and a 62.30-gram bronze medal in thermal contact. When
the bronze medal was put into the cylinder, its temperature was 72.30°C. The final temperature of both the medal and the
neon gas is 66.30°C. Neon's specific heat capacity is 1.047 joules/gram degree Celsius, and bronze's specific heat capacity is
0.3770 joules/gram degree Celsius. What was the initial temperature of the neon?
