How will the amount of thermal energy lost by hot water be related to the amount of thermal energy gained by cold water?

The energy lost by the hot water will be gained by the cold water until they both come to equal temperature. Then there will no longer be any heat transfer from hot to cold.
I think the mathematical relationship is a natural log curve that asymptotically approaches the horizontal - meaning the cooling curve keeps getting less steep over time as the heat is exchanged

How does kinetic potential and thermal energy relate?
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, KE=mv2/2.Thermal energy is different from kinetic energy.Thermal energy is associated with the temperature of a body, the heat gained by increasing the temperature. That heat gives molecules more kinetic energy and more potential energy and may also give molecules more more electronic energy.
What is the temperature at which a solid changes to a liquid called is there a gain or a loss of energy?
this process is the process of gaining thermal energy. As any matter changes state from solid to any other form it will require energy. As energy is exerted on the solid perssure or electric or thermal or other type, the solid will obsorb the energy and change state. The solid thereby will in turn and at a ratio, increase the thermal energy it consumes.
When is energy gained and when is it lost?
In olden days scientists considered energy to flow continuously and so any amount of fraction is possible. But Planck imagined in a revolutionary way that energy is not coming out or getting absorbed continuously but only in small packets. That packet is named as quanta which has energy given by hv, here h is Planck's constant and v is the frequency of radiation. So 1/2 hv is not possible but n * hv where n is an integer.
What is exergy analysis?
it is the enrgy transformation analysis to compute the net energy gained and the amount of losses during the transformation in a process.
Does sublimation lose or gain thermal energy?
When a solid substance gains enough thermal energy, it melts.When we consider Solutions, say Ice in Water, we see both - simultaneously the melting ice gains thermal energy from the water while the water loses thermal energy to the ice body.
Melting gain or loss thermal energy?
For melting thermal energy is needed to work against the attractive force of crystallization. So heat gained from outer force is lost in doing such a work
Energy is gained or lost by atoms in an amount called what?
You think to quanta.
What is the minimum amount of energy that can be lost or gained by an electron?
quantum
Is thermal energy kinetic or potential?
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, KE=mv2/2.Thermal energy is different from kinetic energy.Thermal energy is associated with the temperature of a body, the heat gained by increasing the temperature. That heat gives molecules more kinetic energy and more potential energy and may also give molecules more more electronic energy.
How atoms and molecules can gain or lose energy in discrete amount?
The enrgy is always lost or gained in only the definite amount that is called as discrete or packet energy.
How does kinetic potential and thermal energy relate?
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, KE=mv2/2.Thermal energy is different from kinetic energy.Thermal energy is associated with the temperature of a body, the heat gained by increasing the temperature. That heat gives molecules more kinetic energy and more potential energy and may also give molecules more more electronic energy.
Can energy be used up or can energy be lost?
Energy isn't "used up" but instead is converted into different forms like heat (thermal) and motion (kinetic) but when talking about an object we say the object has lost or gained energy.
The greatest amount of energy would be gained by 1000 grams of water when it chages from?
air from the lake

What percent of energy is gained by alternative energy?
About 55%to60% of energy is gained by alternative energy.
Is the energy gained or lost by an object is related to mass?
yes, it is relevant to mass because Einstein was smart
Is energy gained or lost when it converts from kinetic to thermal due to friction?
The total energy of course won't change - you won't "gain" or "lose" energy (First Law of Thermodynamics). However, note that you are basically converting useful energy into unusable energy (Second Law of Thermodynamics).
