In Lab A, the experiment said to mix equal masses of hot water and cold water. The initial temperature of the hot water was 64.6ºC while the initial temperature of the cold water was 12.9ºC. Mixing the two equal masses of water, the final temperature was 37.3ºC. In Lab B, the experiment said to mix equal masses of hot aluminum and cold water. The initial temperature of the aluminum cube was 60.7ºC and the initial temperature of the cold water was 6.1ºC. Mixing the two together, the final temperature reached 11.7ºC.
