Three liquids are at temperatures of \(10^{\circ} \mathrm{C}, 20^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), and \(30^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), respectively. Equal masses of the first two liquids are mixed, and the equilibrium temperature is \(17^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). Equal masses of the second and third are then mixed, and the equilibrium temperature is \(28^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). Find the equilibrium temperature when equal masses of the first and third are mixed.

Short Answer

Expert verified
The equilibrium temperature when equal masses of the first and third liquids are mixed is \(19^{\circ} C\).

Step by step solution

01

Calculate specific heat capacity of Liquid 2

From the first condition, equal masses of liquids 1 and 2 are mixed and the equilibrium temperature is \(17^{\circ} C\). Therefore, heat gained by liquid 2 is equal to the heat lost by liquid 1. Mathematically it can be stated as: \( mc_1(17-10) = mc_2(20-17) \). Simplify to find \( c_2 = 7c_1/3 = 2.33c_1 \)
02

Calculate specific heat capacity of Liquid 3

From the second condition, equal masses of liquids 2 and 3 are mixed and the equilibrium temperature is \(28^{\circ} C\). Therefore, heat gained by liquid 3 is equal to the heat lost by liquid 2. Mathematically it can be stated as: \( mc_2(28-20) = mc_3(30-28) \). Replace \( c_2 \) with the expression from step 1 and simplify to find \( c_3 = 8c_1/5 = 1.6c_1 \)
03

Find the equilibrium temperature when equal masses of the first and third are mixed.

Now, when equal masses of liquids 1 and 3 are mixed, the heat gained by liquid 3 will be equal to the heat lost by liquid 1. Let's denote the equilibrium temperature as \( T \). Therefore, \( mc_1(T-10) = mc_3(30-T) \). Replace \( c_1 \) and \( c_3 \) with the expressions from step 1 and 2 respectively, and simplify to find \( T = 19^{\circ} C \)
