    1515 g of ice at 0 ∘C0\ ^\circ\mathrm{C} is added to a vessel containing water at 40 ∘C40\ ^\circ\mathrm{C}. The mass of water and water equivalent of the vessel is 6060 g. Assuming that negligible heat is taken from the surroundings, the final temperature of the mixture will be [ Lice=80L_{\mathrm{ice}} = 80 cal/g , Swater=1S_{\mathrm{water}} = 1 cal/g ]
