At the local county fair, you watch as a blacksmith drops a 0.50-kg iron horseshoe into a bucket containing 25 kg of water, (a) If the initial temperature of the horseshoe is 450 °C, and the initial temperature of the water is 23 °C, what is the equilibrium temperature of the system? Assume no heat is exchanged with the surroundings, (b) Suppose the 0.50-kg iron horseshoe had been a 1.0-kg lead horseshoe instead. Would the equilibrium temperature in this case be greater than, less than, or the same as in part (a)? Explain.
