heat lost by hot water = heat gained by cool water
heat lost or gained = mass x specific heat x change in temperature = mC∆T
First, let's convert m3 to liters and then to mass (g or kg)
0.266 m3 x 1000 L/m3 x 1 kg/L = 266 kg cool water
0.112 m3 x 1000 L/m3 x 1 kg/L = 112 kg hot water
(I just noticed they gave the conversion factor of 1000 kg/m3), so you could have done this...
0.266 m3 x 1000 kg/m3 = 266 kg, etc.
Nonetheless, to continue...
heat from hot water = mC∆T = (112 kg)(4.184 kJ/kgº)(95º-Tf)
heat to cool water = mC∆T = (266kg)4.184 kJ/kgº)(Tf - 25º)
Setting these equal to each other we have:
(112 kg)(4.184 kJ/kgº)(95º-Tf) = (266kg)(4.184 kJ/kgº)(Tf - 25º)
44518 - 469Tf = 1113Tf - 27824
1582Tf = 71802
Tf = 45.4ºC

where did the 71802 come from? if you are adding 27824 to 44518 shouldn't it be 72342?11/20/20
