You are a friend who is a veterinarian to do some minor surgery on a cow in a remote location. lacking a portable autoclave, she has asked you to sterilize a scalpel and a hemostat by placing them in boiling water for 30 minutes. you boil them as ordered in 2.5 kg of water, and then quickly transfer the instruments to a well insulated tray containing 250 grams of sterilized water at room temperature (23 °c). after a few minutes the instrumen and water will come to the same temperature but will they be safe to hand to your friend without being burned? you know that both the 45 gram scalpel and the 75 gram hemostat are made from steel which has a specific heat of 450 j/(kg °c), and the specific heat of water at 23 °c is 4180 j/(kg oc) assuming that the temperature of the scalpel and hemostat are 100 °c after 30 minutes of boiling, what is the final temperature of the instruments after they have been in the 250 grams of sterile water?
