A 48.6 grams copper bowl contains 53.1 g of water at 27.3 °C. A very hot copper cylinder, with a mass of 197.8 g, is dropped into the water, causing the water to boil, with 1.26 g being converted to steam. The final temperature of the system is 100.0°C.
Assume the specific heat capacity of water is 4.184 J/g-K, and for copper is 0.386 J/g-K, and that the latent heat of boiling of water is 2256 J/g.
How much heat was transferred to the water?

How much to the bowl ?

What is the original temperature of the cylinder?
