Question

You add 800 ml of water at 20c to 800 ml of water at 80c what is the most likely final temperature of the mixture ?

Answer 1

Answer: D. 50 C

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

d. 50 C

Explanation:

In this problem, we have to add 800 ml of water at 20 Celsius to 800 ml of water at 80 Celsius.

According to the 2nd law of thermodynamics, heat transfers from hot to cold temperature.

The quantity of both the different waters is equal so this makes it very easy. All we have to do is find the mean of both the temperatures:

Final temperature = (20 C + 80 C)/2

= 50 Celsius
