Question:

A 1.0-kg sample of stainless steel is heated to 4008C. Suppose that you drop this hot sample into an insulated bucket that contains water at some known initial temperature. Assuming that there is no difficulty in transferring heat from the steel to the water, describe how you can determine the maximum mass of water that could be boiled with only the heat given off by this sample of steel. Be sure to list any quantities you would need to look up to solve this problem.
