A 1.19-kg sample of water at 13°C is in a calorimeter. You drop a piece of steel with a mass of 0.31 kg at 224°C into it. After the sizzling subsides, what is the final equilibrium temperature? Make the reasonable assumptions that any steam produced condenses into liquid water during the process of equilibration and that the evaporation and condensation taken together don't affect the outcome, as we'll see later. Hint The final equilibrium temperature of water and steel is °C. If the water is in a glass beaker with a mass of 0.2 kg, which in turn is in a calorimeter, with the beaker at the same temperature as the water, how will this affect the answer?
