A 0.500 kg cube of iron (450 J/kg°C) is cooled from 100°C to 10°C, by dunking into water. Water (4180 J/kg°C) rises from 0°C  to 10°C. What mass of water is needed?

Tf - Ti = 100-10 = 90°C (for iron)

Q iron = (0.5)(90)(450) = 20,250 J 

Q lost by iron = Q gained by water = 20,250 J

20,250 J = m (4140)(10) = 0.48 kg
