**Physics Problem: Heat Transfer Calculation**

**Problem Statement:**

The specific heat of iron is \(0.4494 \, \text{J/g} \cdot °\text{C}\). How much heat is transferred when a \(4.7 \, \text{kg}\) piece of iron is cooled from \(180 \, °\text{C}\) to \(13 \, °\text{C}\)?

---

To solve this problem, consider using the formula for heat transfer:

\[
q = m \cdot c \cdot \Delta T
\]

Where:
- \(q\) is the heat transferred (in Joules),
- \(m\) is the mass of the substance (in grams),
- \(c\) is the specific heat capacity (in Joules per gram per degree Celsius),
- \(\Delta T\) is the change in temperature (in degrees Celsius).

Convert the mass from kilograms to grams:
\[
4.7 \, \text{kg} = 4700 \, \text{g}
\]

Calculate the change in temperature:
\[
\Delta T = T_{\text{final}} - T_{\text{initial}} = 13 \, °\text{C} - 180 \, °\text{C} = -167 \, °\text{C}
\]

Substitute these values into the formula to find the heat transferred.
