find the temperature of the water found in a coffee pot which simulates a water heater that can be heated to 55ºC. Hypothesis: If the temperature of 50mL of tap water is found and then mixed with 25mL of hot water, then the temperature of the hot water can be determined because by finding the final(mixture of hot/tap water) and initial(tap water) temperatures, the experimenter can discover the original temperature the hot water was before it was mixed with the tap water.
