Question

2 kg of ice at 20C is mixed with 5 kg of water at 20C in an insulating vessel having a negligible heat capacity. Calculate the final mass of water remaining in the container. It is given that specific heats of water and ice are 1 Kcal kg1 C1 and 0.5 Kcal kg1 C1 while the latent heat of fusion of ice is 80 kcal/kg

Solution

The correct option is B 6 kg
Heat released by 5 kg of water when its temperature falls from 20C to 0C is,
Q1=mcΔθ=(5)(103)(200)=105 cal
when 2 kg ice at 20C comes to a temperature of 0C, it takes an energy
Q2=mcΔθ=(2)(500)(20)=0.2×105 cal
the remaining heat
Q=Q1Q2=0.8×105 cal will melt a mass m of the ice, where
m=QL=0.8×10580×103=1 kg
So, the temperature of the mixture will be 0C, mass of water in it is 5+1=6 kg and mass of ice is 21=1 kg
