A 10.8 kg of nickel initially at 202 ∘C is dropped into an insulated basin containing 23.6 kg of water initially at 27.8 ∘C. Assume that he water does not undergo any phase change when the hot metal was initially dropped into the water.

a) Assuming no heat losses from the container, what is the final equilibrium temperature between the water and the nickel? ∘C

b) What would the equilibrium temperature be if the nickel had lost 479 kJ of heat before being dropped in the water? ∘C
