I have this problem, but I could not understand. pls help

Steam at 100 degree celsius is added to ice at 0 degree celsius. The mass of the steam is 10 g and the mass of the ice is 50.0 g. What is the final temperature of the mixture?

thanks a lot.

You need to know the energy (per kg) lost by steam turning into water = heat of vapourisation.
The energy (per kg) it takes to melt ice = heat of fusion
The energy needed ( per kg per kelvin ) needed to heat water.
