A student heated 20Kg of water to a temperature of 80^oC. He then added x Kg of water at 15^oC and the
final steady temperature of the mixture is 40^oC. Given that the s.h.c. of water is 1.2Jg-1K-1, determine the value of x.

Heat lost = heat gained
20kg * 4200Kg-1K-1 * (80-40) K = x * 4200JKg-1K-1 * (40-15) K
X = 3, 360, 000/25, 000 = 32kg.
3. 0.2kg of iron at 200C is dropped into 0.09kg of water at 260C inside a calorimeter of mass 0.15kg and s.h.c.
800JKg-1K-1. Find the final temperature of the water. Take the s.h.c. of iron = 460JKg-1K-1 and that of water
= 4200JKg-1K-1
