Question
When 155 g of water at 20 ᵒC is mixed with 75 g of water at 80 ᵒC, assuming no heat is
lost to the surrounding what is the final temperature of the water. (Specific heat capacity
of water is 4.18 J/°C·g)

Answer:
39.57 °C
Explanation:
Applying,
Heat gain = Heat lost.
cm'(t₃-t₁) = cm(t₂-t₃)…………….. Equation 1
Where c = specific heat capacity of water, m = mass of the hotter water, m’ = mass of the colder water, t₁ = initial temperature of the colder water, t₂ = initial temperature of the hotter water, t₃ = Final Temperature.
Equation 1 above can futher be simplified to
m'(t₃-t₁) = m(t₂-t₃)…………….. Equation 2
From the question,
Given: m’ = 155 g, m’ = 75 g, t₁ = 20 °C, t₂ = 80 °C
Substitute these values into equation 2
155(t₃-20) = 75(80-t₃)
Solve for t₃
155t₃- 3100 = 6000-75t₃
155t₃+75t₃ = 6000+3100
230t₃ = 9100
t₃ = 9100/230
t₃ = 39.57 °C
