Answer:
60.87 °C
Explanation:
Applying,
Heat lost = heat gain
cm'(t₂-t₃) = cm(t₃-t₁)………….. Equation 1
Equation 1 can futher be simplified to
m'(t₂-t₃) = m(t₃-t₁)…………….Equation 2
Where m’ = mass of the hot water, m = mass of the cold water, t₁ = initial temperature of the cold water, t₂ = initial temperature of the hot water, t₃ = temperature of the mixture.
From the question,
Given: m’ = 88 g, m = 32 g, t₁ = 22°C, t₂ = 75°C
Substitute these values into equation 2
88(75-t₃) = 32(t₃-22)
6600-88t₃ = 32t₃-704
32t₃+88t₃ = 6600+704
120t₃ = 7304
t₃ = 60.87 °C
