42. A non-conducting vessel contains a liquid of mass 70.0 g at 25 deg C. Another 70.0 g of the same liquid is quickly poured into the vessel at 35 deg C. Determine the final temperature of the mixture.

  • A. 15 deg C
  • B. 20 deg C
  • C. 30 deg CCorrect
  • D. 40 deg C

Explanation

mc(delta theta c)=mc(delta theta h). 70xcx(f-25)=70xcx(35-f). f-25=35-f. 2f=60. f=30 deg C.
