Question
An ice cube of mass 0.1 kg 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/kg−K and B=2×10−2cal/kg−K2. If the final temperature of the container is 27∘C, determine the mass of the container. (Latent heat of fusion of water =8×104cal/kg−K, Specific heat of water =103cal/kg−K).
