It has to do with this thermodynamic equation:

q = mCP(Tf-Ti)

q heat

m mass

Cp heat capacity

Ti initial temperature

Tf final temperature

100 g of water at 20 degree centigrade is mixed with 100 g of water at 5 degree centegrade the temperature of mixture will be?

The final temperature of the mixture will be between 5 and 20 degrees Celsius, closer to 5 degrees since a larger mass of water is at that temperature. To find the exact final temperature, you can use the principle of conservation of energy (Q lost = Q gained).


Which sample had the lowest final temperature?

Sample B had the lowest final temperature.


A sheet of gold weighing 10.0g and at a temperature of 18.0 is placed flat on a sheet of iron weighing 20.0g and at a temperature of 55.6 C. Specfific heats of gold and iron are 0.129 and .444 respec?

To determine the final temperature when the two metals reach thermal equilibrium, you can use the principle of conservation of energy. The heat lost by the iron as it cools (Q = mcΔT) equals the heat gained by the gold as it warms up (Q = mcΔT), where m is the mass of the metal, c is the specific heat, and ΔT is the change in temperature. Equating these two and solving for the final temperature will give you the answer.


A thermos contains 150 cm3 of coffee at 85 C To cool the coffee you drop two 11-g ice cubes into the thermos The ice cubes are initially at 0 C and melt completely What is the final temperature of the?

The final temperature of the coffee in the thermos after the ice cubes melt can be calculated using the principle of conservation of energy. The heat lost by the coffee as it cools down will be equal to the heat gained by the ice cubes as they melt. By applying this principle along with the specific heat capacities of water and ice, you can determine the final temperature of the coffee.


How can starting at a temperature below room temperature results in a final equilibrium temperature that is slightly warmer than room temperature?

If the initial temperature is below room temperature, the object will absorb heat from its surrounding environment until it reaches equilibrium. The heat absorbed increases the object's temperature, surpassing room temperature. This process is governed by the laws of thermodynamics.

How much heat is released when 1 kg of molten iron cools?

The answer will depend on its starting temperature and its final temperature.


If a cold piece of metal is placed in an equal mass of warm water will the final temperature be closer to the original temperature of the metal or the water?

The final temperature will be closer to the original temperature of the water. Heat will flow from the water to the metal until they reach thermal equilibrium, resulting in a final temperature between the original temperatures of the two substances.


The temperature dropped 13F in 7 hours the final temperature was -2F what was the starting teperature?

The starting temperature was 11°F. Starting at 11°F, a drop of 13°F in 7 hours would result in a final temperature of -2°F.


What occurs when a 35-gram aluminum cube at 100C is placed in 90 grams of water at 25C in an insulated cup?

The aluminum cube will lose heat as it cools down to the final temperature of the system. This heat will be transferred to the water causing it to increase in temperature. The final equilibrium temperature will be somewhere between the initial temperatures of the aluminum and water.


You add 50 mL of water at 20C to 200 mL of water at 70C. What is the most likely final temperature of the mixture?

To find the final temperature of the mixture, we can use the principle of conservation of energy, assuming no heat is lost to the surroundings. The heat gained by the cooler water (50 mL at 20°C) will equal the heat lost by the warmer water (200 mL at 70°C). The final temperature will be closer to the initial temperature of the warmer water due to its larger volume, likely resulting in a final temperature around 64-66°C.

A sheet of gold weighing 10.0g and at a temperature of 18.0 is placed flat on a sheet of iron weighing 20.0g and at a temperature of 55.6 C. Specfific heats of gold and iron are 0.129 and .444 respec?

To determine the final temperature when the two metals reach thermal equilibrium, you can use the principle of conservation of energy. The heat lost by the iron as it cools (Q = mcΔT) equals the heat gained by the gold as it warms up (Q = mcΔT), where m is the mass of the metal, c is the specific heat, and ΔT is the change in temperature. Equating these two and solving for the final temperature will give you the answer.
