If one litre of water at $\displaystyle { 25 }^{ \circ  }C$ is mixed with one litre of water at $\displaystyle { 45 }^{ \circ  }C$ the temperature of the water will be

evs weather, climate and adaptation of animals to different climates climate and weather weather, climate and adaptations of animals to climate atmosphere and its components

  1. $\displaystyle { 70 }^{ \circ }C$

  2. $\displaystyle { 20 }^{ \circ }C$

  3. $\displaystyle { <25 }^{ \circ }C$

  4. $\displaystyle >{ 25 }^{ \circ }C&amp; <{ 45 }^{ \circ }C$

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The temperature of the mixture would be $\displaystyle >{ 25 }^{ \circ  }C&amp; <{ 45 }^{ \circ  }C$, as there would be transfer of heat in between  water molecules from higher temperature to lower temperature.
