Question

Two samples, each containing $400 g$ of water, are mixed. The temperature of sample A before mixing was $20^{\circ} C$ and that of sample B was $65^{\circ} C$ . What will be the final temperature of the mixture? (Specific heat of water = 4186 J/kg K)

Solution

Given:
Mass of sample A and B, $m_{A} = m_{B} = 400 g = 0.4 k g$
Temperature of sample A, $T_{A} = 20^{\circ} C$
Temperature of sample B, $T_{B} = 65^{\circ} C$
Specific heat of water, $S_{w} = 4186 J / k g K$
The heat lost by sample A will be equal to heat gained by sample B.
Let the temperature of the mixture be $T_{m}$ .
Heat lost = Heat gained
$∴$ $m_{A} S_{w} (T_{B} - T_{m}) = m_{B} S_{w} (T_{m} - T_{A})$
$\Rightarrow 0.4 \times (65 - T_{m}) = 0.4 \times (T_{m} - 20)$
$\Rightarrow 2 T_{m} = 85$
$\Rightarrow T_{m} = {42.5}^{\circ} C$
