UNSEEN PROSE AND POETRY

Read the passage below and answer the question

Tell me not (sweet) I am unkinde,

of thy chaste breast and quiet minde,

To warre and Armes I flie.

Lov'd I not Honour more.

(c) A piece of copper of mass 300 g at a temperature of 950°C is quickly transferred to a vessel of negligible thermal capacity containing 250 g of water at 25°C. If the final steady temperature of the mixture is 100°C, calculate the mass of the water that will boil away.
