250 g of water at 20.0 degrees C is poured into a 500-g aluminium pan off the stove with a temperature of 150degrees C. The pan is placed on an insulated pad, and heat transfer to the air is neglected in the short time needed to reach equilibrium. Assume that a negligible amount of water boils off. What is the temperature when the water and pan reach thermal equilibrium?
