    How much water boils off when a hot horseshoe is dropped in

    Awesome! Thank you very much for all of the guidance, I think it helped me to understand the concepts here much more

    with delta(E) = 0 = Qshoe + Qsteam -Qshoe = Qsteam 208076.96J = L Msteam with L being the latent heat of vaporization = 2256 kJ/kg = 2256000 J/kg Msteam = .0922kg = .0922L

    At equilibrium it would match the temperature of the water, so Q = MC(373K-1018.433K), which comes out to be -208076.96J?

    The water goes through its phase change from liquid to steam, and it stops if it all evaporates or if the system reaches thermal equilibrium

    In that case, the horseshoe loses 454.567K

    I think I must be missing something here m = .5kg c = 4187 J/(kg*K) M = .7kg C = 460.548 J/(kg*K) and 70C + 273K = 343K I'm getting an outrageously high change..

    So, setting the two Q's equal, I found delta(T) of the shoe to be = -(mc 70C)/(MC) m - mass of the water c - specific heat of water M - mass of the shoe C - specific heat of iron

    Oh, then the horseshoe must have lost Q

    How much water boils off when a hot horseshoe is dropped in

    What I meant by that was whether the horseshoe lost mc (70C) or if that's the wrong way to think about it

    Would its temperature change also equal 70C?

    How much water boils off when a hot horseshoe is dropped in

    c is the specific heat of water and m is the mass, which, using density, would be .5kg

    How much water boils off when a hot horseshoe is dropped in

    Do they both end up at 100C? So the horseshoe would drop 1100C? But then for the heat absorbed by the water, I am not sure what it equals. Is it related to the horseshoe's Q = mc delta(T)? As in, I solve that with delta(T) = 1100C and that's how much heat the water absorbs?

    How much water boils off when a hot horseshoe is dropped in

    The water needs to rise to 100C first, right? I'm just generally confused how to work the equation up to that point, and then what I need to do to find how much water boils off.
