Question

A piece of ice of mass 40 g is dropped into 200 g of water at 50oC. Calculate the final temperature of the water after all the ice has melted. Specific heat capacity of water =4200J kg1 K1 Specific latent heat of fusion of ice =336×103 J kg1

Solution

Mass of ice (m1)=40g=401000kg
Mass of water (m2)=200g=2001000kg
Temperature of water 50oC. Let final temp. =ToC
Heat taken by ice = Heat given by water
m1L+m1S1T1=m2S2T2

401000×336×103+401000×4.2×103×T =2001000×4.2×103×(50T)

40×336+40×4.2T=200×4.2×(50T)

336+4.2T=21(50T)
25.2T=714T=71425.2=28.33oC
