Data Table Mixture Hot Water Temperature (0C) Cold Water Predicted Mixed Actual Mixed 100 mL hot; 100 mL cold 50 mL hot; 150 mL cold 150 mL hot; 50 mL cold

Questions How does the temperature of the different mixtures compare to the original temperatures of the water? For which mixture did your prediction come closest? For which mixture was your prediction farthest off? Could the temperature of the mixture (hot and cold) ever reach the temperature of the hot or cold water? Explain your reasoning. Although the hot water was the same temperature in each beaker, the impact observed when it was combined with the cold water varied. Why did they all have a different effect? What factors could have impacted the accuracy of your data? What did you learn about mixing temperatures from this activity? What would you predict the temperature to be if 200 mL of hot water (≈1000C) is mixed with 50 mL of cold water (≈00C) ? Explain your reasoning.
