Solution

The correct option is D

16.25 gm ice, 266.75 gm water


Let us assume that all ice melts and warms up. Thus we will assume that T > 0.

Heat lost by water added = Heat gained by ice to melt

Heat to warm water formed from ice and water added

Heat gained by calorimeter can.

30 × 1 × (90T) = 50 × 80 + (50 + 200) × 1 × (T 0) + 40 × 1 ×(T0)

270030T = 4000+250T+40T

T = 4.1C

Hence our assumption that T > 0 is wrong, since hot water added is not able to melt all of the ice.

Therefore the final temperature will be 0C

Let m = mass of ice finally left in the can.

Heat lost by water = heat gained by melting ice

30 × 1 × (900) = (50m) × 80

m = 16.25 gm

Finally there is 16.25 gm of ice and (200 + 30 + 33.75) = 266.75 gm of water at 0C
