[Solved] We place a metal rod weighing 5.00 g with a specific heat capacity of 0.358 J/K/g in 24.0 mL of water

We place a metal rod weighing 5.00 g with a specific heat capacity of 0.358 J/K/g in 24.0 mL of water. The specific heat capacity of water is 4.184 J/K/g and we make the approximation that its density is exactly 1.000 g/mL. The water has an initial temperature of 20.0 oC and the metal rod has an initial temperature of 80.8 oC. What is the final temperature (in oC) of the water and metal rod?
