Mixing Problems For combinations of the same substance at different temperatures and phases (usually ice and water or water at different temperatures) Strategy: * Convert each “ingredient” to some common state and temperature... for instance, convert everything to liquid water at 0 deg C ‘© Use the absolute value (no negative values) of your AT so that all heat terms are positive © Ifamixture of ice and water, subtract heat needed from heat released to find heat available to determine your final temperature OR for a mixture of just water, add all the heats to find the heat available to determine your final temperature © Doan meAT calculation using that value (heat available) as “q”, and the combined mass as “1” to solve for your final temperature Numbers to know for water...

We will use freezing since the ice will gain energy and the liquid water will lose energy. We will then subtract the gain from the loss to obtain the total heat that will be available. Finally, we will use q= me,AT to determine the final temperature.
