Answer:
Explanation:
The answer is C Enthaply and entropy because temperature plays a big role in reactions
The heat from the hotter water will go into the colder water untl equilibrium is reached. Equilibrium is same temperature!
Now, the heat is proportional to the mass, the specific heat and the temperature difference. The specific heat does not matter since all is water, it will cancel out:
m_1 * c_H20 * ( T_final - T_1 ) = -m_2 * c_H20 * ( T_final - T_2)
Notice the minus, because one wins the heat of the one who loses it. In this way both sides have the same sign:
m_1*(T_final - T_1)=-m_2*(T_final-T_2), or after some simple algebra:
T_final = (m_1 * T_1 + m_2 * T_2 )/(m_1+m_2),
which looks like an arithmetic mean, and one could have gone for this, but the above shows all the work. Notice that if T_1=T_2, T_final=T_1 always, which makes sense.
Now you can convert volume to mass with the density, but since mass = density*volume and it is all water, the density will cancel out and you can work with volumes. If you prefer just say: 120 ml->120 g , etc ...
T_final = (120*95+320*25)/(320+120)=44.0909 degrees Celsius, or ~ 44.09 degrees with two decimal precision as your statement (beware of precision always!).
I think the copper could melt to cup and the water would smell like rust
Because it has molecules of water in it
