Did I do this correct? If not, what is the correct way to solve it?

An aluminum calorimeter with a mass of 100 g contains 250 g of water. The calorimeter and water are in thermal equilibrium at 10.0°C. Two metallic blocks are placed into the water. One is a 75.0-g piece of copper at 60.0°C. The other has a mass of 70.0 g and is originally at a temperature of 100°C. The entire system stabilizes at a final temperature of 20.0°C.


I got 1822.143 J/(kg * deg C) is this value correct?
