Suppose I mix 202 grams of water at 27.4 degrees Celcius with 96 grams of water at 100 degrees Celcius. (Assume no heat escapes or enters the system.) What final temperature will the mixture have when it reaches equilibrium? The answer should be in degrees Celcius. You do not need to put the unit in the answer, just the number. Take the specific Heat Capacity of liquid water as 4000 J per kg per degree (C).
