Question
What is the final temperature when 180.0 mL water at 101.3 C is added to 93.1 mL of water at 65.5 C?

heat lost by warm water + heat gained by cold water = 0
[mass warm water x specific heat H2O x (Tfinal-Tinitial)] + [mass cool water x specific heat H2O x (Tfinal-Tinitial)] = 0
Substitute and solve for Tfial
[mass warm water x specific heat H2O x (Tfinal-Tinitial)] + [mass cool water x specific heat H2O x (Tfinal-Tinitial)] = 0
