Thanks for everyone's help. I was stuck because of missing a lecture.

Would 250C be the change in substance temperature and the amount of calories for the substance change in temperature then be used to figure the change in water temperature which would then be the final temperature of both?

calories= (mass) x (change in temperature) x (specific heat) Do you use this formula for the substance and then for the water and add the calories together? I can't figure what the change in temperature would be for either equation.

100g of a substance with a Specific heat of 0.1 cal/gCelcius put into a calorimeter containing 200g of water. The initial temp. of the substance was 250 degrees celcius and the initial temp. of the water is 0 degrees celcius. What will the final temp. of the mixture be? (ignore heat gained by calorimeter)
