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.
