Part A
In lab you submerge 100 g of \( 60^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \) iron nails in 100 g of \( 24^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \) water (the specitic hoat of iron is \( 0.11 \mathrm{cal} / \mathrm{g} \)." C.)
Equate the heat gained by the water to the heat lost by the nalls and find the final temperature of the water:
Express your answer in degrees Celsius.
\[
T=\square{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}
\]

Bequeat Answer
Part B
Your lab partner is surprised by the result and says that since the masses of iron and water are equal, the final water temperature should lie closer to \( 42^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \), hall-way betweon. What is your explanation?
