☆One litre boiling water has more amount of heat because it has much more greater mass than iron nail

I am not sure if its wrong,sorry

but here is the iron nail explanation also

☆A red hot nail has more amount of heat because the density of iron is more than that of water

The water. Take the specific heat of steel, estimate the volume of the nail, you know the volume of the water, which has a specific heat of one. Or be obvious. If you dropped a red hot nail into a liter of cold water, what would happen?

Answer:

Water
