When (50 ~g ) of water at (10^ C ) is mixed with (50 ~g ) of water at (100^ C ). The resultant temperature is
Options
- A(80^ C )
- B(55^ C )
- C(25^ C )
- D(45^ C )
Correct answer
B. (55^ C )
Step-by-step solution
If resulting temperature of the mixture is (T^ C ) then Heat gained by (50 ~g ) water at (10^ C ), (H_ gain =m c T=50 c(T-10) ) Heat lost by (50 ~g ) of water at (100^ C ) (H_ loss =m c T=50 c(100-T) ) According to principle of calorimetry, Heat gain (= ) Heat loss ( array ll & H_ gain =H_ loss & 50 c(T-10)=50 c(100-T) & 2 T=110 & T=55^ C array )
