With the standard liquid-water approximation , each portion has mass . The equal heat capacities give final temperature by energy conservation. For an insulated mixing process with no other changes,The reversible integrals evaluate entropy differences between equilibrium states; the actual heat transfer is irreversible. These are two portions of the same substance, so there is no additional ideal-mixture compositional entropy.
