A 0.250-g chunk of sodium metal is cautiously dropped into a mixture of 50.0 g of water

Question:

A 0.250-g chunk of sodium metal is cautiously dropped into a mixture of 50.0 g of water and 50.0 g of ice, both at 0oC. The reaction is
2Na(s) + 2H2O(l) → 2NaOH(aq) + H2(g) ΔH = –368 kJ
Will the ice melt? Assuming the final mixture has a specific heat capacity of 4.18 Jg-1oC-1, calculate the final temperature.
