A bucket contains 8 kg of water at 25 degrees Celsius and 2 kg of water at 80 degrees Celsius is poured into it. Neglecting the heat absorbed by the bucket, calculate the final temperature of water.
Given m1 = 8kg, T1 = 25 , m2 = 2 kg, T2 = 80, let the final temperature = x
Heat lost by water =
heat gain by water =
2 *(80-x) = 8 *(x-25)
80-x = 4(x-25)
80-x =4x-100
5x = 180
x = 36 degree celsius
