Given two samples of water, one weighing 150 g
and the other weighing 225 g. If the same amount of heat
is added to each sample and the temperature change is 28
degrees C for the 150 g sample, calculate the temperature
change for the 225 g sample.
Answer.
We can compare the ratios of the masses to the ratios
of the temperatures using the relationship,

substituting into this relationship using mass1 = 225
gand mass2 = 150 g and T2 = 28 C

The tempeature change the 225 g sample will
experience is 18.7 degrees Celsius.
