The correct option is A 0∘C
The heat released by water when it cools down 20∘C to 0∘C is given by
Q1=mCwΔT
Q1=0.02 kg×4200 J kg−1∘C−1×20∘C=1680 J ....(1)
The heat absorbed by ice to reach 0∘C from −20∘C is given by
Q2=m′CiΔT
Q2=0.01 kg×2100 J kg−1∘C−1×20∘C=420 J .....(2)
Also:
Heat required to just melt 10 g of ice is given by
Q3=m′L=0.01 kg×3.36×105 J kg−1=3360 J .....(3)
From the principle of calorimetry,
Heat lost by water = Heat gained by ice.
Q1=Q2+Q3
But from (1), (2) and (3), we can say that,
Q1<Q2+Q3
[∵Q1<Q3 and Q1>Q2]
Thus, we can conclude that all the ice will not be melt and temperature becomes 0∘C
Hence, option (a) is the correct answer.
