You are handed a well insulated container holding about 100ml of water at a temp between 75 deg C and 100 deg C. you are given a thermometer with a maxmimum temp of 50 deg C. create an experiment to determine the temp of the water.
i am really confused on how to start this problem. we did an experiment with calorimeters such as specific heat of a metal,enthalpy of dissolving a salt in water, entahlpy of a neutralization reaction and heat fusion of water, could i alter one of these experiments to make this one work. is there an equation for this problem that i could link to one of these experiments

What happens if you add 100 ml water (ice water, no ice) at zero C, then measure the final temperature?
your and
the ice water would lower the original temp, but im still confused on how i would use that to calculate the original temp of the water
heat gained by ice water (you know both Tfinal and Tinitial) + heat lost by warmer water (Tfinal which you know and Tinitial which you don't know) = 0. What's the only unknown in the equation?
the only unknown would be the intial temp, for the heat gained by ice water would the intial be 0 deg and final would be waterever the fianl temp of the mixture of warm and cold water
It's tough reading with no caps and no periods and/or question marks. Yes, ice water Ti is 0 and Tf final T of solution. Ti for warm water is unknown. Tf is same for ice water and warm water.
