Question

19 g of water at 30C and 5 g of ice at 20C are mixed together in a calorimeter. What is the final temperature (in C) of the mixture? Given specific heat of ice is 0.5 cal/gC and latent heat of fusion of ice =80 cal/g.

Solution

We know that: Q=mL,Q=msΔθ

Given: m1=19 g,θ1=30C,s1=1 cal/gC,m2=5 g,θ2=20C,s2=0.5 ca/gC,L=80 cal/g

Let final temperature of mixture be θ.

Heat lost by water is absorbed by ice,
m1s1(30θ)=m2s2[(0(20)]+m2L+m2s1(θ0)

19×1×(30θ)=5×0.5×[0(20)]+5×80+5×1×(θ0)

57019θ=50+400+5θ

24θ=120

θ=5C

Final answer: 5C
