Heat lost by the hot water= heat gained by melting ice + heat gained by melted ice
mc??h= mlf + mc??m
0.4*4200*(20-?) = (0.04*340, 000) + (0.04*4200*?)
33600-380? = 13600 + 38?
1848?=20000
T=20000/1848 =5.82^oC

(Solved)
In an experiment to determine the specific heat capacity of a metal, a 20g of the metal was transferred
from boiling water to a lagged copper calorimeter containing cold water. The water was stirred and a
final steady temperature was realized. The following data was recorded:
-initial temperature of cold water and calorimeter =20^oC
-temperature of boiling water =99^oC
-final temperature of water, calorimeter and metal =23.7^oC
-mass of cold water plus calorimeter =130g
mass of calorimeter =50g
Take s.h.c. of water=4200JKg-1K-1, s.h.c. of copper=400JKg-1K-1.
Use the data above to determine:
