Homework Statement
Solve algebraically for T2 then find T2.
T1C=63 Celsius
T1H=79.5 Celsius
MCW=8.63g
MBW=36.48g
Homework Equations
QLost = QGained
-mbwcw(T2-T1H) = mcwcw(T2-T1C)
The Attempt at a Solution
Trying to solve algebraically I arrived at:
T2 = mcwt1C+mbwt1h[tex]/[/tex](mbw+mcw)
But when substituting the values I get T2 = 123.66J from the original equation and T2 = 76.34 when using the equation I derived from the original.
Can someone please show me where I am going wrong with the equation here?
Thanks!
