Note : My syllabus only go until thermal equilibrium in 2 objects , i am wondering what will happen and how to calculate if there are 3 substances in contact. So i formed a question on my own hoping it can be solved.
*my teach refused to show me calculations saying it is unrelevant to exam.
given 3 beakers of water at room temperature and pressure are to mixed into one beaker
each beaker labelled A : has 0.5kg mass at 30°C
B : has 0.3kg mass at 40°C
C : has 0.2kg mass at 20°C
let heat capacity of water = 4.2 joule/gram °C
assume heat transfer only occurs among the water with no heat loss to surroundings.
what is the temperature of the water when it reaches thermal equilibrium?
if there are other examples of thermal equilibrium in 3 substances with shown calculations from other websites , mind to post here one? i searched but found nothing , therefore i post a question here.
