Question

1. allen mixes 1 cup of water that is 150° f and 1 cup of cold chicken broth that is 50° f. the end temperature of the mixture would be about

Explanation:

Step1: Understand Heat Mixing

When mixing two substances of equal volume (1 cup each) with different temperatures, the final temperature is approximately the average of the two initial temperatures, assuming similar heat capacities (valid here as both are aqueous solutions).

Step2: Calculate Average Temperature

The formula for the average of two temperatures \( T_1 \) and \( T_2 \) is \( \frac{T_1 + T_2}{2} \). Substituting \( T_1 = 150^\circ\text{F} \) and \( T_2 = 50^\circ\text{F} \), we get \( \frac{150 + 50}{2}=\frac{200}{2} = 100^\circ\text{F} \).

Answer:

\( 100^\circ\text{F} \)
