Question

2kg of water at 100°C is contained in a vessel of negligible heat capacity. Into this water is added 3kg of ice at 0°C. Calculate the amount of water at 0°C at the end of experiment. Take SHC of water =4.2Jg-1C-1 and SLH of ice =336×103J/Kg.

Solution

Step 1: Given data,

Mass of water, m=2kgat100C

Mass of ice=3kgat0C

SHC of water=c=4.2Jg-1C-1=4200JKg-1C-1

SLH of ice=L=336×103J/Kg

Step 2: Finding the heat energy lost by water.

Let us assume that the mass of ice at 0°C is melted to water at 0°C.

So the heat energy lost by 2kg of water at100°C to cool to0°C water,

=mc(100-0)=100mc

Step 3: Finding the heat energy gained by ice.

Heat lost by water = Heat gained by M kg of ice

100mc=ML100×2×4200=M×336000M=8400×100336000=2.5kg

Step 4: Finding the amount of water at 0°C

Amountofwaterat0°C=2kg+2.5kgobtained by melting of ice=4.5kg

Hence, the amount of water at0°C is 4.5kg.
