A 150 g copper block is heated to an unknown temperature and then placed into a calorimeter containing 200 g of water initially at \(25^{\circ}\text{C}\). After the system reaches equilibrium the temperature rises to \(30^{\circ}\text{C}\) and \(5\) g of water has evaporated. The specific heat capacities are \(c_{\text{Cu}} = 0.385\ \text{J g}^{-1}\!^{\circ}\text{C}^{-1}\) and \(c_{\text{water}} = 4.18\ \text{J g}^{-1}\!^{\circ}\text{C}^{-1}\). The latent heat of vapourisation of water is \(L_{v}=2260\ \text{J g}^{-1}\). Assuming the calorimeter has negligible heat capacity, determine the initial temperature of the copper block (in \(^\circ\text{C}\)).
