Brad has three beakers of water. Each beaker contains 500 mL of water. The temperature of the water in the first beaker is 40°C. The water in the second beaker is at 100°C, and the water in the third beaker is at 60°C. As part of a lab experiment he will carefully combine the water in all three beakers. He predicts that the combined water will have a final temperature of 50°C.

Evaluate Brad’s claim and clearly state whether he is correct or not. Explain your answer to support your evaluation.
