A 2.5 kg metallic block with an initial temperature of 80°C is placed in a styrofoam cup containing 0.1 kg of ice at -15°C. Assuming that no heat escapes from the cup what is the final temperature of the metallic block? The specific heat of the metal is 480 J/kg ∙ K, specific heat of ice is 2090 J/kg ∙ K, the latent heat of fusion of water is 3.33 × 105 J/kg, and the specific heat of water is 4186 J/kg ∙ K. Select one:
a. 17.5 °C
b. 36.8 °C
c. 39.0 °C
d. 41.3 °C
