Answer :
Final answer:
To find the final temperature of the mixed water, we can use the equation for heat transfer and plug in the given values to solve for the final temperature. The final temperature of the mixed water is 37.1 °C. The correct option is C
Explanation:
To find the final temperature of the mixed water, we can use the equation for heat transfer:
Q = mcΔT
Where Q is the heat transferred, m is the mass, and ΔT is the change in temperature. Since the water is the only substance involved, we can assume that the specific heat capacity (c) is the same for both quantities of water. Plugging in the values, we get:
Q1 + Q2 = mcΔT
where Q1 = m1cΔT1 and Q2 = m2cΔT2. Solving for the final temperature (ΔT), we find that the final temperature of the mixed water is 37.1 °C.
