Compare the temperature change for the two masses of cold water (50 grams and 100 grams) when the same amount of hot water was added. What do you discover?

Step-by-step explanation:

All other things being equal (and there are a lot of other things) the 50 gram mass will show a larger temperature

increase than the 100 gram mass.

Why?

The formula is the same from both masses of water (50 grams and 100 grams)

The amount of heat added is the same. (Instead of using hot water, we'll a hot plate on a very low temperature but above what they are now.).

We'll leave it on until we see a rise in temperature  delta(t1) = 10 degrees

mc delta(t) = m1 * c * delta(t1)

m = 100

m1 = 50 grams.

c is going to be divided out

we'll solve for the ratio of delta(t) / delta(t1)

100 * delta(t) = 50 (delta(t1)

100 * delta(t) = 50*10

delta(t) = 50*10/100

delta(t) = 5 degrees.

Though this may look rather convoluted, the result is telling us is that delta(t1) for the 50 gram mass is twice as big as as for the 100 gram mass.

The 100 gram mass only rises 5 degrees.

The 50   gram mass rises 10 degrees.
