47. Calculate the final steady temperature obtained when 6.0g of water at 50C is mixed with 3.0g of water at
40C. [specific heat capacity of water is 4200jkg K-]​

the final steady temperature of the mixture is 46.67 ⁰C

Explanation:

Given;

mass of first water,m₁ = 6 g = 0.006 kg

initial temperature, t₁ = 50 ⁰C

mass of the second water, m₂ = 3.0 g = 0.003 kg

initial temperature of the second water, t₂ = 40 ⁰C

specific heat capacity of water, C = 4,200 J/kg.K

Let the final temperature of the mixture = T

Based on Law of conservation of energy, the temperature of the final mixture is calculated as follows;

m₁c(t₁ - T) = m₂c(T - t₂)

0.006 x 4200 x (50 - T) = 0.003 x 4200 x (T - 40)

1,260 - 25.2T = 12.6T - 504

1,260 + 504 = 12.6T + 25.2T

1764 = 37.8T

T = 1764/37.8

T = 46.67 ⁰C

Therefore, the final steady temperature of the mixture is 46.67 ⁰C
