By adding some amount of ice, the temperature of 500g of water at 50∘C , is lowered to 0∘C. If the specific heat capacity of water is 4.2 J g−1 K−1 and specific specific latent heat of ice is 336 J g−1, then find the mass of ice added to it.
312.5g
Given Mass of water = 500g
Initial temperature = 50∘C , Final temperature = 0∘C
Fall in temperature = Δt = (50-0) = 50∘C
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 0∘C
=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
