Ice in a freezer is at $-7^{\circ} C$. $100 \, g$ of this ice is mixed with $200 \, g$ of water at $15^{\circ} C$. Take the freezing temperature of water to be $0^{\circ} C$,the specific heat of ice equal to $2.2 \, J/g^{\circ} C$,specific heat of water equal to $4.2 \, J/g^{\circ} C$,and the latent heat of ice equal to $335 \, J/g$. Assuming no loss of heat to the environment,the mass of ice in the final mixture is closest to .......... $g$.

The temperature of a copper piece of mass $50 \ g$ is raised by $10 \ ^\circ C$. If the same amount of heat is given to $10 \ g$ of water,the rise in its temperature is = ...... $^\circ C$ (Specific heat of copper $= 420 \ J/kg \cdot ^\circ C$,Specific heat of water $= 4200 \ J/kg \cdot ^\circ C$).
