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

  1. $\displaystyle { 70 }^{ \circ }C$
  2. $\displaystyle { 20 }^{ \circ }C$
  3. $\displaystyle { <25 }^{ \circ }C$
  4. $\displaystyle >{ 25 }^{ \circ }C\& <{ 45 }^{ \circ }C$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
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.
