  1. Q = m * c * ΔT

    m = mass

    c = specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 J/g ºC

    ΔT = change in temperature

    Q1 = -Q2 = thermal equilibrium

    Q1 = 20 kg * 4.18 J/g ºC * (Tf - 100°C)

    Q2 = 200 kg * 4.18 J/g ºC * (Tf - 10°C)

    20 * 4.18 * (Tf - 100) = - (200 * 4.18 * (Tf - 10))

    2 * ( Tf - 100 )  =  - (20 * ( Tf - 10 ))

    2Tf - 200 = -20Tf + 200

    2Tf + 20Tf = 200 + 200

    Tf = 400 / 22 = 18 °C
