Question

250 g of water at 30C is contained in a copper vessel of mass 50 g. Calculate the mass of ice required to bring down the temperature of the vessel and its contents to 5C.
Given : specific latent heat of fusion of ice = 336×103Jkg1, specific heat capacity of copper = 400Jkg1K1, specific heat capacity of water = 4200Jkg1K1 :

Solution

The correct option is C 74.93 g
Heat required to bring down the temperature to 5o is
250×4.2×(530) +50×0.4×(25)
=26750J

Let m be the mass of ice so,
Heat released by ice is
m×336 +m×4.2×5
357m J
Now the energy of the system must remain conserved so,
357m26750=0
m=74.93 g
