Question: Answered & Verified by Expert
A beaker contains $200 \mathrm{gm}$ of water. The heat capacity of the beaker is equal to that of $20 \mathrm{gm}$ of water. The initial temperature of water in the beaker is $20^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. If $440 \mathrm{gm}$ of hot water at $92^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ is poured in it, the final temperature (neglecting radiation loss) will be nearest to

Options:
  • A $58^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$
  • B $68^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$
  • C $73^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$
  • D $78^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$

The correct answer is: $68^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$
Heat lost by hot water $=$ Heat gained by cold water in beaker + Heat absorbed by beaker
$\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow 440(92-\theta)=200 \times(\theta-20)+20 \times(\theta-20) \\ & \Rightarrow \theta=68^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\end{aligned}$
