Question 1 Report

Two liquids, P at a temperature of 20oC and Q at a temperature of 80oC have specific heat capacities of 1.0Jkg-1oC-1 and 1.5J kg-1oC-1respectively. if equal masses of P and Q are mixed in a lagged calorimeter, then the equilibrium temperature is

44oC

50oC

56oC

60oC

70oC

Answer Details

Heat lost = heat gained

m x (80 - $θ$ ) x 1.5 = m x ( $θ$ - 20) x 1

$θ$ = 56oC
