if you combine 100 degrees with another 100 degrees will it become 200 degrees ?

Question

If i combine 100 degrees with another source of 100 degrees will
the combined amout become 200 degrees?or will it stay at 100 degrees?or does it become some all together different degree.

Answer 1

It will be water at 100 degrees that will stay that temperature longer b/c of the increased volume. The only way to increase the temp is to increase the energy (temperature) while keeping the same mass (like putting flame under the container of water). Since you are increasing mass AND energy, it balances out.

Answer 2

It really depends on what you mean by combine. If two equal volumes of water it will stay 100 degrees. If you mean two equal units of energy on one volume, it will go to 200 (unless you cross a phase change temp).

Answer 3

100. think about it. when you have harm water and add ice cubes, the ice melts and the water gets colder. it goes to the average and the average of 2 100 degree things is still 100.
