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 =2×4186×(80-x)
heat gain by water = 8×4186×(x-25)
2 *(80-x) = 8 *(x-25)
80-x = 4(x-25)
80-x =4x-100
5x = 180
x = 36 degree celsius
