Question
2.6 of water at 28 °C is added to 5.0 of water at 69 ° C. What is the temperature of the mixture in °C if no energy was lost? ( specific heat of water is 4186 J/Kg ^ C)
Expert Solution
Step 1
Here the unit of mass is not provided. However since the unit of specific heat is provided in si unit, we can assume that the mass is in the si unit too. Hence the unit of mass here is kg.
To solve the problem use the conservation of energy. When we mixed the water then the higher temperature water losses some energy and the lower temperature water absorb that energy and the mixture finally gets an intermediate temperature.
