Explanation of Solution
The whole system of calorimeter can be divided into three systems that are water, copper metal, and the walls of the calorimeter. All these systems are in contact with each other. According to the zeroth law of thermodynamics, these systems must be in thermal equilibrium with each other.
The temperature of the water is
The temperature of copper metal is
The temperature of copper metal is higher than that of water. Therefore, to attain a thermal equilibrium, some amount of energy is lost by the copper metal and some amount of energy is gained by the water. According to the first law of thermodynamics, the energy released by copper is equal to the heat accepted by water.

The process is spontaneous because the entropy change of the system is positive. According to the second law of thermodynamics, the entropy change of system must be positive for a spontaneous process.
Explanation of Solution
The total entropy change in the calorimeter system is
This value implies that the randomness in the system is increasing with time. The second law of thermodynamics states that the entropy of the system either increases or remains the same. The entropy change is positive that means the entropy of the system is increasing. Therefore, the process is spontaneous.
