Question

A 1.10 kg sample of water at 8.00°C is in a calorimeter. You drop a piece of steel with a mass of 0.330 kg at 230°C into it. After the sizzling subsides, what is the final equilibrium temperature (in °C)? (Make the reasonable assumptions that any steam produced condenses into liquid water during the process of equilibration and that the evaporation and condensation don't affect the outcome.)
