The energy amount going out of the warm water is equal to the energy amount going into the cool water. To compute the absolute distance, it's the larger value minus the smaller value, so 85.0 to x is 85.0 − x and the distance from x (the larger value) to 20.0 (the smaller value) is x − 20.0. The colder water goes up in temperature (from 20.0 to the ending temperature), so its Δt equals x minus 14.9. The warmer water goes down from to 85.0 to x, so this means its Δt equals 85.0 minus x.

We start by calling the final, ending temperature 'x.' Keep in mind that BOTH water samples will wind up at the temperature we are calling 'x.' Also, make sure you understand that the 'x' we are using IS NOT the Δt, but the FINAL temperature. Substituting values into the above, we then have: With q lost on the left side and q gain on the right side. Solution Key Number Two: the energy amount going out of the warm water is equal to the energy amount going into the cool water. These two distances on the number line represent our two Δt values:Ī) the Δt of the warmer water is 46.8 minus xī) the Δt of the cooler water is x minus 14.9 To compute the absolute distance, it's the larger value minus the smaller value, so 46.8 to x is 46.8 − x and the distance from x to 14.9 is x − 14.9. That last paragraph may be a bit confusing, so let's compare it to a number line: The colder water goes up in temperature, so its Δt equals x − 14.9. The warmer water goes down from to 46.8 to x, so this means its Δt equals 46.8 − x. Solution Key Number One: We start by calling the final, ending temperature 'x.' Keep in mind that BOTH water samples will wind up at the temperature we are calling 'x.' Also, make sure you understand that the 'x' we are using IS NOT the Δt, but the FINAL temperature. What that means is that only the specific heat equation will be involved

This problem type becomes slightly harder if a phase change is involved. This is very, very important.ģ) The energy which "flowed" out (of the warmer water) equals the energy which "flowed" in (to the colder water) The warmer water will cool down (heat energy "flows" out of it).Ģ) The whole mixture will wind up at the SAME temperature. Forgive me if the points seem obvious:ġ) The colder water will warm up (heat energy "flows" into it).
