Answer: Pumping can affect the level of the water table. In an aquifer, the soil and rock is saturated with water.
Explanation:
The sum of the masses of the reactants must equal the sum of the masses of the products; as required by
the Principle of Conservation of Mass.
You are correct, but you needn't worry about the signs so much. Just remember that the negative sign is used to denote a loss of energy; since the water is hotter, it will be losing energy (-Q) and the iron will gain energy (Q). Now, we substitute the values:
-149.3 * 4.184 * (T - 95) = 412 * 0.44 * (T - 5)
Solving this equation for T,
T = 74.8 °C

you probably dont want to put that...
