Zoe has 25 grams of water (c = 4.186 joules over grams times degrees celsius) at 10°c, which she mixes with 12 grams of water at 30°c. assume that no heat is lost to the surroundings. what is the final temperature of the two liquids? the answer is expressed to the nearest whole number. –47°c –8°c 3°c 16°c

Howdy,

We use the expression Q = mC(T2-T1). We caclulate as follows:

Q absorbed = Q released

m1 C (T-T1) = -m2 C (T-T1)

C can be cancelled since they are the same substance.

m1 (T-T1) = -m2 (T-T1)

25 (T-10) = -12 (T-30)

T = 16.49 degrees Celsius
