Answer:

qreleased = -273J.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to this calorimetry question, and keeping in mind that the hot substance releases heat to the cold substance which absorbs it, according to:

-qreleased = qabsorbed

In such a wat, since the water absorbs 273 J of heat and no heat is lost, the amount of this measurement released by the metal is:

-qreleased = 273J

qreleased = -273J
