Answer:
The final temperature = 293 K or 20 °C
Explanation:
Heat gained by water at 0°C = heat lost by water at 30°C
c₁m₁(T₃ - T₁) = c₂m₂(T₂-T₃).......................... Equation 1
Making T₃ the subject of the equation,
T₃ = (c₂m₂T₂ + c₁m₁T₁)/(c₁m₁+c₂m₂)............. Equation 2
Where m₁ =mass of water at 0°C, c₁ = specific heat capacity of water at 0°C , c₂ = specific heat capacity of water at 30°C, m₂ = mass of water at 30°C, T₁ = initial temperature of water at 0°C, T₂ = initial temperature of water at 30°C, T₃ = final temperature.
Given: m₁ = 50 g = (50/1000) kg = 0.05 kg, m₂ = 100 g = (100/1000) kg = 0.1 kg., T₁ = 0°C = 273 K, T₂ = 30°C = (30+273 )= 203 K
Constants: c₁ = c₂ = 4200 J/kg.K
Substituting these values into equation 2,
T₃ = (4200×0.1×303 + 4200×0.05×273)/(4200×0.1 + 4200×0.05)
T₃ = (127260 + 57330)/(420+210)
T₃ = 184590/630
T₃ = 293 K.
Therefore the final temperature = 293 K or 20 °C
