The bath was filled with water weighing 120 kg at a temperature of 20 degrees and water weighing 240 kg

The bath was filled with water weighing 120 kg at a temperature of 20 degrees and water weighing 240 kg at a temperature of 90 degrees. Find the temperature of the mixture

Initial data: m1 (mass of cool water) = 120 kg; t1 (cool water temperature) = 20 ºС; m2 (hot water mass) = 240 kg; t2 (hot water temperature) = 90 ºС.

The steady-state temperature of the mixture can be determined from the following equality:

C * m1 * (t3 – t1) = C * m2 * (t2 – t3).

m1 * (t3 – t1) = m2 * (t2 – t3).

120 * (t3 – 20) = 240 * (90 – t3).

120t3 – 2400 = 21600 – 240t3.

360t3 = 24000.

t3 = 24000/360 = 66.7 ºС.

Answer: The temperature of the water mixture in the bathroom will be 66.7 ºС.
