Heat and Thermodynamics question

2019 · 11 Jan · Shift 2 · Q66

JEE MainPhysicsHeat and ThermodynamicsMCQ+4 / −1
When 100 g of a liquid A at 100oC is added to 50 g of a liquid B at temperature 75oC, the temperature of the mixture becomes 90oC. The temperature of the mixture, if 100 g of liquid A at 100oC is added to 50 g of liquid B at 50oC, will be :
  1. A
    60oC
  2. B
    70oC
  3. C
    85oC
  4. D
    80oC

Correct answer: D

  1. Let the specific heats of liquids AAA and BBB be cAc_AcA​ and cBc_BcB​ respectively.

  2. Use the first mixing condition:

  • Mass of A=100 gA = 100\,\text{g}A=100g, initial temperature =100∘C=100^\circ\text{C}=100∘C
  • Mass of B=50 gB = 50\,\text{g}B=50g, initial temperature =75∘C=75^\circ\text{C}=75∘C
  • Final temperature =90∘C=90^\circ\text{C}=90∘C

Since heat lost by AAA = heat gained by BBB,

100cA(100−90)=50cB(90−75)100c_A(100-90)=50c_B(90-75)100cA​(100−90)=50cB​(90−75)

100cA⋅10=50cB⋅15100c_A\cdot 10 = 50c_B\cdot 15100cA​⋅10=50cB​⋅15

1000cA=750cB1000c_A = 750c_B1000cA​=750cB​

cAcB=34\frac{c_A}{c_B}=\frac{3}{4}cB​cA​​=43​

  1. Now use the second condition:
  • Mass of A=100 gA = 100\,\text{g}A=100g at 100∘C100^\circ\text{C}100∘C
  • Mass of B=50 gB = 50\,\text{g}B=50g at 50∘C50^\circ\text{C}50∘C
  • Let final temperature be TTT

Again,

100cA(100−T)=50cB(T−50)100c_A(100-T)=50c_B(T-50)100cA​(100−T)=50cB​(T−50)

Substitute cA=34cBc_A=\frac{3}{4}c_BcA​=43​cB​:

100(34cB)(100−T)=50cB(T−50)100\left(\frac{3}{4}c_B\right)(100-T)=50c_B(T-50)100(43​cB​)(100−T)=50cB​(T−50)

Cancel cBc_BcB​:

75(100−T)=50(T−50)75(100-T)=50(T-50)75(100−T)=50(T−50)

7500−75T=50T−25007500-75T=50T-25007500−75T=50T−2500

10000=125T10000=125T10000=125T

T=80∘CT=80^\circ\text{C}T=80∘C

  1. Check options:
  • A: 60∘C60^\circ\text{C}60∘C ❌
  • B: 70∘C70^\circ\text{C}70∘C ❌
  • C: 85∘C85^\circ\text{C}85∘C ❌
  • D: 80∘C80^\circ\text{C}80∘C ✅

Therefore, the correct answer is Option D.
