The second law can tell you whether a process will be spontaneous or will require outside work to make it occur. It doesn't tell much about how fast the process will occur. As an example: diamonds are thermodynamically unstable and will gradually both oxidize and revert to a different solid structure. The changes are so slow though that your great, great, great grandma's diamond engagement ring can be passed down to your great, great, great granddaughter without any measurable change in the size or appearance of the diamond from the aforementioned processes.

How can you tell if water is 115 degrees without a thermometer?

The moment at which you can no longer keep your finger in the water for more than a second, it should be about 115 degrees F. (hot tubs are often set at 105F or less to prevent injury, and 110F is intolerable). A hot dry surface on the other hand can be tolerated by touch for more than a second up to 130F. Water causes an increase in the transfer of heat by fluid thermodynamics.
