Question
If water with a mass $m_{h}$ at temperature $T_{h}$ is poured into an aluminum cup of mass $m_{A 1}$ containing mass $m_{c}$ of water at $T_{c},$ where $T_{h}>T_{c},$ what is the equilibrium temperature of the system?
Step 1
This can be written as: \[m_{h} c_{w} (T_{h}-T_{f}) = m_{a l} c_{a l} (T_{f}-T_{c}) + m_{c} c_{w} (T_{f}-T_{c})\] Show more…
