If you place a 1kg block of ice into a bucket of water at(20 degree Celsius,what might you expect the temperature of the water be:
a)after 5 mins?
b)the next day?

The kinetics of this are affected by many things:
The shape of the block ice, and how it fits into the bucket.
The TEMP of the ice (is it just frozen at 0C, or colder)
Whether the water is being stirred or actively circulated somehow.
Even gravity.
Assuming that last condition is normal Earth condition, and you aren't stirring, the shape and temp make a big difference. 5 minutes is tough to tell.
By the next day though, equilibrium will set in. However, you still need the ice starting temp, and how good of a thermal insulator the bucket is. (And is the air at a constant 20C temp?)

After 5 mins the water in the bucket will be on its way to zero C.
The next day, the ice will have melted and the water will be at or close to 20 C.

1 kg of ice is only i liter of water and seeing as a bucket is 20 liters... after 5 minutes I see the change only marginally to 10c unless you stir then it would depend upon your rate of mixing... it could drop to 5 deg. C.
However by the next day it would be back up tp room temp.
