Question
A 1.50-kg iron horseshoe initially at 550°C is dropped into a bucket containing 14.0 kg of water at 24.0°C. What is the final temperature of the water–horseshoe system? Ignore the heat capacity of the container and assume a negligible amount of water boils away.

Answer:
29.97 °C
Explanation:
From the question,
Heat lost by the iron horseshoe = heat gained by water.
CM(t₁-t₃) = cm(t₃-t₂)………………. Equation 1
Where C = specific heat capacity of the iron horseshoe, M = mass of the iron horse shoe, c = specific heat capacity of water, m = mass of water, t₁ = Initial temperature of the iron horseshoe, t₂ = initial temperature of water, t₃ = final Temperature of the mixture.
make t₃ the subject of the equation,
t₃ = (CMt₁+cmt₂)/(CM+cm)…………………. Equation 2
Given: M = 1.5 kg, m = 14 kg, t₁ = 550 °C, t₂ = 24 °C
Constant: C = 450 J/kg.K, c = 4200 J/kg.K
Substitute into equation 2
t₃ =[(450×1.5×550)+(4200×14×24)]/(450×1.5+4200×14)
t₃ = (371250+1411200)/(675+58800)
t₃ = 1782450/59475
t₃ = 29.97 °C
Hence the final temperature of water = 29.97 °C
Answer:
The final temperature of the water–horseshoe system is 30⁰C
Explanation:
Given;
mass of iron,
= 1.50-kg
initial temperature of the iron horseshoe,
= 550°C
mass of water, Mw = 14.0 kg
initial temperature of water,Tw = 24°C
Let the final temperature of the water–horseshoe system = T
From the principles of conservation of heat;
Heat lost by a hot body = Heat gained by a cold body
Heat lost by hot iron horseshoe = heat gained by water
where;
Therefore, the final temperature of the water–horseshoe system is 30⁰C
