In a coffee cup calorimeter, 15.0 g sample of nickel metal is heated to exactly 100 °C and dropped into 55.0 g of water, initially at 23.0°C.  Assuming that all the heat lost by the nickel is absorbed by the water, calculate the final temperature of the nickel and water. The specific heat of nickel is 0.444 J/g °C and water is 4.184 J/g °C.
