200g of water at 90°C is mixed with 100g of water at 30°C. What is the final temperature?
50oC
60oC
70oC
80oC

Explanation

Heat lost = heat gained

200 x c x (90 - \(\theta\))= 100\(\times\) c \(\times\) (\(\theta - 30\))

Dividing through by 100c, we have

2(\(90 - \theta\)) = (\(\theta - 30\))

simplifying, we have

\(\theta\) = 70°
