Solution

The correct option is A

312.5g


Given Mass of water = 500g
Initial temperature = 50C , Final temperature = 0C
Fall in temperature = Δt = (50-0) = 50C
Heat lost by water = mcΔt
= (500kg)(4.2 J g−1 K−1)(50K)
= 1.05× 106J
if m'g of ice is added, heat gained by it to melt to 0C
=m'L = m'×336
By principle of method of mixture, Heat lost by water = Heat gained by ice
1.05× 106 = m'×336

m=1.05×106336 =312.5g
