if you combine 390.0 mL of water at 25.00 °C and 110.0 mL of water at 95.00 °C, what is the final temperature of the mixture? use 1.00 g/mL as the density of water.

T (final) = 40.4 °C

Explanation:

Given dа ta:

Density of water = 1.00 g/mL

Volume of water at 25°C = 390.0 mL

Volume of water at 95°C = 110.0 mL

Final temperature of mixture = ?

Solution:

Heat absorbed by warm water = heat lost by hot water

q lost = - q lost ... (1)

Formula:

q = m. c.ΔT

ΔT (warm) = T (final) - 25°C

ΔT (hot) = T (final) - 95°C

Mass of water:

d = m/v

1 g/mL = m / 390 mL

390 g = m

For hot water:

d = m/v

1 g/mL = m / 110.0 mL

110.0 g = m

Now we will put the values in equation 1.

390 g. c. (T (final) - 25°C) = - 110.0 g. c. (T (final) - 95°C)

390 T (final) - 9750 °C = - 110 T (final) + 10450 °C

390 T (final) + 110 T (final) = 10450 °C + 9750 °C

500 T (final) = 20200

T (final) = 20200/500

T (final) = 40.4 °C
