2 A mercury-in-glass thermometer is to be used to measure the temperature of some oil.

The oil has mass 32.0 g and specific heat capacity 1.40 J g–1 K–1. The actual temperature of
the oil is 54.0 °C.

The bulb of the thermometer has mass 12.0 g and an average specific heat capacity of
0.180 J g–1 K–1. Before immersing the bulb in the oil, the thermometer reads 19.0 °C.

The thermometer bulb is placed in the oil and the steady reading on the thermometer is
taken.

(a) Determine
(i) the steady temperature recorded on the thermometer,
