    Question

    Two litres of superheated water at 190°C is mixed with six litres of cold water at 20°C. Find the final equilibrium temperature (in °C) if no heat is lost.

    A.

    95

    B.

    47.5

    C.

    62.5

    D.

    55

    Correct option is C


    To determine the final equilibrium temperature, we apply the principle of conservation of energy, which states that the heat lost by the hot water is equal to the heat gained by the cold water.
    Heat lost = Heat gained
    Since we assume no heat loss to the surroundings, we use the formula:
