Question

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

A

Solution

The correct option is C 0.495kg
Heat lost by container =300500(A+BT)dT

=mc[AT+BT22]300500

21600mc

Heat gained by the ice is:
=0.1×8×104+0.1×103×27
=10700cal

According to principle of calorimetry
Heat lost by container = Heat gained by ice
21600mc=10700
or mc=0.495kg
