Thanks for your help everyone, but I am not getting anywhere. This is just extra hard for me at this point. I will try my text again and see if I can come up with something. Thanks again,
Mike
wow...I guess one gained 15 degrees and the other gained nothing, so together they gain 15, because the transfer of heat is from the hotter to the cooler?
So, from the original problem, the water ends up at 40 degrees?
Quick questions, do I average the temps or do I subtract 40 -25 which is 15C. Are you saying that the water conserves it's energy, so the addition of mass does not matter, it's just 15C?
I understand that heat lost is = to heat gained,but what about the added water?
I guess the better question would be, what is the c of water?
**I feel like a 10 yr old boy in this class!
any help would be appreciated, I am getting confused with the problem
somehow I am getting 15C/175,000?
By the way, if there is a more basic forum, let me know...I do not want to offend anyone!
First time here so be easy please!
Problem: What would final temp. be when 100g of 25C water is mixed with 75g of 40c water?
Do I use deltaT=deltaQ/cm?
