n Dexter’s lab, he pours 1.65kg of molten gold at 1063°C into a 1.30kg iron cauldron filled with 2.70kg of water both at 15.0°C. At the same moment he drops a 0.400kg piece of ice initially at -20.0°C into the cauldron and begins to stir. If we treat the cauldron and its contents as a calorimeter, what will be the final temperature for the system in degrees Celsius?
