A 25.0-g sample of copper at 90.0°C is placed in 100.0 g of water at 20.0 °C. The copper and water quickly come to the same temperature by the process of heat transfer from copper to water. Calculate the final temperature of the water. Assume that the molar heat capacity of water and copper are 75.2 J K-¹ mol-¹ and 24.5 J K¹ mol¹ respectively.
