Question

An ice cube of mass 0.1kg at 0 C is placed in an isolated container which is at 227 C. The specific heat s of the container varies with temperature T according to the empirical relation s=A+BT, where A=100 cal kg1K1 and B=2×102 cal kg1. If the final temperature of the container is 27 C, then the mass of the container is (Latent heat of fusion of water =8×104calkg1, specific heat of water =103calkg1K1).

Solution

The correct option is A 0.495 kg
Heat lost by container =300500mc)(A+BT)dT
=mc[AT+BT22]300500=21600mc
Heat gained by ice =miceL+miceSwaterΔT
=0.1×8×104+0.1×103×27=10700 cal
According to principle of calorimetry
Heat lost by container = Heat gained by ice
21600mC=10700
Or mC=0.495 kg.
