80 gm of ice at 0°C is mixed with 80gm of water at 80°C. Find the final temperature of the mixture.

Solution
Let T be the final temperature of the mixture.
According to law of calorimetry,
Heat gained by  ice = Heat lost by water
Therefore, 
          space space space space space space space space straight m subscript straight i space straight L space equals space straight m subscript straight w space straight s left parenthesis straight T subscript straight w minus straight T right parenthesis
 
rightwards double arrow       80 x 80 = 80 x 1 (80-T) 
rightwards double arrow               80 = 80 - T
rightwards double arrow                   T=0oC, is the final temperature of the mixture.
