Find the final temperature of the mixture after intermediate layer removed
Answers
Calculate the final temperature of the water mixture using the equation T(final) = (m1_T1 + m2_T2) / (m1 + m2), where m1 and m2 are the weights of the water in the first and second containers, T1 is the temperature of the water in the first container and T2 is the temperature of the water in the second container. For example, assume that you mix 50 ml of water at 20 degrees Celsius with 20 ml of water at 85 degrees Celsius and the density of water is 1 g/ml. Find the weights of the two water samples by multiplying the two volumes by the density of water, volume 1 * 1 g/ml = 50 g and volume 2 * 1 g/ml = 20 g. These values should match the weigh measurements that you made. If they are different, use the weight measurements you recorded. Insert the values you recorded earlier into the equation and find the final temperature of the mixed water, T(final) = (50 g * 20 degrees + 20 g * 85 degrees) / (50 g + 20 g). Evaluate the equation to get T(final) = (1,000 + 1,700) / 70 = 2,700 / 70 = 38.5
