f 100. grams of liquid water at 100.°C and 200. grams of water at 20.0°C are mixed in an insulated container, what will the final temperature of the mixture be? (Specific heat capacity of H 2O( ℓ) = 4.18 J/g•K)

Respuesta :

Answer : The final temperature of the mixture will be, [tex]46.7^oC[/tex]

Explanation :

In this problem we assumed that heat given by the hot body is equal to the heat taken by the cold body.

[tex]q_1=-q_2[/tex]

[tex]m_1\times c_1\times (T_f-T_1)=-m_2\times c_2\times (T_f-T_2)[/tex]

where,

[tex]c_1[/tex] = [tex]c_2[/tex] = specific heat of liquid water = Same

[tex]m_1[/tex] = mass of liquid water = 100 g

[tex]m_2[/tex] = mass of water  = 200 g

[tex]T_f[/tex] = final temperature of mixture = ?

[tex]T_1[/tex] = initial temperature of liquid water = [tex]100^oC[/tex]

[tex]T_2[/tex] = initial temperature of water = [tex]20.0^oC[/tex]

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get

[tex](100g)\times (T_f-100.0)^oC=-[(200g)\times (T_f-20.0)^oC][/tex]

[tex]T_f=46.7^oC[/tex]

Therefore, the final temperature of the mixture will be, [tex]46.7^oC[/tex]

The final temperature will be 46.7 degrees.

Calculation of the final temperature:

Since

specific heat of liquid water = Similar

mass of liquid water = 100 g

mass of water  = 200 g

the initial temperature of liquid water = 100

the initial temperature of water = 20

So, the final temperature should be = 46.7
