A piece of iron with a mass of 72.4 grams is heated to 100°C and plunged into 100 grams of water that is initially at 10.0°C. Calculate the final temperature that is reached assuming no heat loss to the surroundings. The heat capacities of iron and water are Cs(H2O) = 4.18 J/°C and Cs(Fe) = 0.449 J/g-°C.
First of all, we note that

the heat gained by the cooler body + the heat lost by the warmer body = 0
In other words

qH2O = - qFe
