$2\, kg$ of ice at $-20^{\circ}C$ is mixed with $5\, kg$ of water at $20^{\circ}C$ in an insulating vessel having a negligible heat capacity. Calculate the final mass of water remaining in the container. It is given that the specific heats of water and ice are $1\, kcal/kg/^{\circ}C$ and $0.5\, kcal/kg/^{\circ}C$ respectively,while the latent heat of fusion of ice is $80\, kcal/kg$.
