Question

1.6 kg of boiling water at 100°c is poured into 2 kg of crushed ice at 0°c, such that final temp. recorded is 0°c. Calculate the specific latent heat of ice? ( sp. latent heat of water = 4200 J/kg/K )

Solution

Dear Student

Boiling water is at higher temperature and crushed ice is lower temperature.
So boiling water looses heat energy
Heat lost = heat gainedmwcwt=miceL(1.6)(4200)(373K-273K)=(2)LL=(1.6)(4200)(100)2=336000 J/KG -K
