A 150 g block of copper (specific heat \(c_{\text{Cu}}=0.385\) J g\(^{-1}\) K\(^{-1}\)) at 200 °C is placed in thermal contact with 250 g of water (specific heat \(c_{\text{w}}=4.18\) J g\(^{-1}\) K\(^{-1}\)) initially at 20 °C. The insulated system reaches equilibrium, but 5 % of the heat lost by the copper is transferred to the container walls (which have negligible heat capacity) and does not reach the water. Determine the final equilibrium temperature of the water and the copper (in °C).
