A beaker contains 0.2 kg of 20°C, what will be its final temperature if 0.3 kg of water at 60°C is added to it.


1 Answer


Given, 

first mass m1 = 0.2 kg

temperature t1 = 20°C

Second mass m2 = 0.3 kg 

temperature t2 =60°C

final temperature T = ? 

specific heat of beaker = S

we know that, 

\(T=\;\frac{m_1s_1t_1+m_{2\;}s_2t_2}{m_1s_1+\;m_2s_2}\)

T = (4s +18 s)/ 0.5s 

T= 22/0.5 

T = 44°C
