Question 107 of 168

When 100 g100 \mathrm{~g} of a liquid A\mathrm{A} at 100∘C100^{\circ} \mathrm{C} is added to 50 g50 \mathrm{~g} of a liquid BB at temperature 75∘C75^{\circ} \mathrm{C}, the temperature of the mixture becomes 90∘C90^{\circ} \mathrm{C}. The temperature of the mixture, if 100 g100 \mathrm{~g} of liquid AA at 100∘C100^{\circ} \mathrm{C} is added to 50 g50 \mathrm{~g} of liquid B\mathrm{B} at 50∘C50^{\circ} \mathrm{C}, will be:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (C) 80∘C80^{\circ} \mathrm{C}

Heat loss == Heat gain =mSΔθ=\mathrm{mS} \Delta \theta

So,mASAΔθA=mBSBΔθB\mathrm{So}, \mathrm{m}_{\mathrm{A}} \mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{A}} \Delta \theta_{\mathrm{A}}=\mathrm{m}_{\mathrm{B}} \mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{B}} \Delta \theta_{\mathrm{B}}

$\begin{array}{l}


\Rightarrow 100 \times \mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{A}} \times(100-90)=50 \times \mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{B}} \times(90-75) \\


2 \mathrm{~S}_{\mathrm{A}}=1.5 \mathrm{~S}_{\mathrm{B}} \Rightarrow \mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{A}}=\frac{3}{4} \mathrm{~S}_{\mathrm{B}}


\end{array}$


Now,
100×SA×(100−θ)=50×SB×(θ−50)100 \times \mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{A}} \times(100-\theta)=50 \times \mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{B}} \times(\theta-50)

2×(34)×(100−θ)=(θ−50)2 \times\left(\frac{3}{4}\right) \times(100-\theta)=(\theta-50)

$\begin{array}{l}


300-3 \theta=2 \theta-100 \\


400=5 \theta \Rightarrow \theta=80^{\circ} \mathrm{C}


\end{array}$
