$50 \, g$ of ice at $0^\circ C$ is placed in an insulated vessel. $50 \, g$ of water at $100^\circ C$ is mixed into it. Neglecting heat loss,what is the final temperature of the mixture?

$100 \, g$ of ice at $0^{\circ}C$ is mixed with $100 \, g$ of water at $100^{\circ}C$. What will be the final temperature of the mixture in $^{\circ}C$?

Two identical bodies are made of a material for which the heat capacity increases with temperature. One of these is held at a temperature of $100^{\circ} C$,while the other one is kept at $0^{\circ} C$. If the two are brought into contact,then assuming no heat loss to the environment,the final temperature that they will reach is

The specific heat of alcohol is about half that of water. Suppose you have identical masses of alcohol and water. The alcohol is initially at temperature $T_A$. The water is initially at a different temperature $T_W$. Now the two fluids are mixed in the same container and allowed to come into thermal equilibrium,with no loss of heat to the surroundings. The final temperature of the mixture will be
