A 0.75 g sample of a metal is heated from 34C to 59C and is transferred into 523 g of water at 25C. Describe the flow of heat between the water and the metal.

I'm not sure what you want when you say describe. Heat will flow from the 59 C metal to the 25 C water. The metal will cool; the H2O will warm. The final T of both will be less then 59 and greater than 25 You can calculate the final T of both by substituting and solving for Tfinal IF you know the specific heat of the metal but I don't see that listed anywhere.
