Answer: The final temperature of the mixture is 49°C

Explanation:

To calculate the mass of water, we use the equation:

$\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}$

For cold water:

Density of cold water = 1 g/mL

Volume of cold water = 230.0 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$1g/mL=\frac{\text{Mass of water}}{230.0mL}\\\\\text{Mass of water}=(1g/mL\times 230.0mL)=230g$

For hot water:

Density of hot water = 1 g/mL

Volume of hot water = 120.0 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$1g/mL=\frac{\text{Mass of water}}{120.0mL}\\\\\text{Mass of water}=(1g/mL\times 120.0mL)=120g$

When hot water is mixed with cold water, the amount of heat released by hot water will be equal to the amount of heat absorbed by cold water.

$Heat_{\text{absorbed}}=Heat_{\text{released}}$

The equation used to calculate heat released or absorbed follows:

$Q=m\times c\times \Delta T=m\times c\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})$

$m_1\times c\times (T_{final}-T_1)=-[m_2\times c\times (T_{final}-T_2)]$ ......(1)

where,

q = heat absorbed or released

$m_1$ = mass of hot water = 120 g

$m_2$ = mass of cold water = 230 g

$T_{final}$ = final temperature = ?°C

$T_1$ = initial temperature of hot water = 95°C

$T_2$ = initial temperature of cold water = 25°C

c = specific heat of water = 4.186 J/g°C

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$120\times 4.186\times (T_{final}-95)=-[230\times 4.186\times (T_{final}-25)]$

$T_{final}=49^oC$

Hence, the final temperature of the mixture is 49°C

Explain how the law of conservation of mass necessitates our balancing all chemical equations.

denis23 [38]

The law of conservation of mass states that energy can neither be created, nor destroyed. It applies to all the chemical equations because everything is about matter. Changing one chemical to another, changing forms, shapes, colors, types to other ones. But in each and every single process of this universe, nothing is created or destroyed. It's just the simplest to the most complex transfers of energy throughout the universe.
I hope this helped.

Name something that has zero thermal energy.

77julia77 [94]

Absolute zero is the point at which the fundamental particles of nature have minimal vibrational motion, retaining only quantum mechanical, zero-point energy-induced particle motion.
