specific heat of ice = 2.10 x 103 Jkg-1K-1 latent heat of fusion water = 3.34 x 105 Jkg-1
specific heat of steam = 2.00 x 103 Jkg-1K-1 specific heat of copper = 3.85 x 102 Jkg-1K-1
specific heat of steel = 4.50 x 102 Jkg-1K-1 specific heat of aluminium = 8.80 x 102 J kg-1 K-1

insulated cup (assume no loss of heat to the container and surroundings) to cool the coffee from
950C to 650C?
