Question

They want a mixture of 150 grams of water at 60 degrees Celsius, using hot water at 90 degrees Celsius and cold water at 14 degrees Celsius, how many grams of water should be used per face?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Here,

Final mass(m)=150g

Final Temperature(t)=60°C

Temperature of hot water(t1)=90C

Temperature of cold water(t2)=14C

Let the grams of water to be used per face be m1 grams and (150-m1) grams for hot and cold water respectively.

We know that,

Heat lost by hot body=Heat gained by cold body

or, m1 s1 Δt1=m2 s2 Δt2

or, m1 (t1-t)=(150-m1) (t-t2) [∵s1=s2, SHC of water is taken to be same]

or, m1 (90-60)=(150-m1) (60-14)

or, 30m1=6900-46m1

or, 76m1=6900

∴m1=90.79g

(150-m1)=59.21g

Hence, 90.79g and 59.21 g hot and cold water must be used respectively.
