This quiz is based on Chemistry Enduring understanding: "Two systems with different temperatures that are in thermal contact will exchange energy. The quantity of thermal energy transferred from one system to another is called heat." And "Enduring understanding: Energy is neither created nor destroyed, but only transformed from one form to another." It focuses on problems involving heating and cooling, phase transitions, and gases.

A piece of iron (50 g, specific heat = 0.45 J/g.degrees C) was heated to 100 degrees C and then placed in a beaker of water (250 mL, specific heat = 4.18 J/g.oC) at 20 degrees C, and the temperature was allowed to equilibrate. Which of the following is the best description of the final temperature of the system?
The temperature will be 60 degrees C, exactly halfway between 20 degrees C and 100 degrees C
The temperature will be closer to 100 degrees C than 20 degrees C
The temperature will be closer to 20 degrees C than 100 degrees C
There is not enough information provided to determine the final temperature
