Question

I jave a numerical . if anyone can answer that will be a great help for me.

350g of ice at 30c is contained in a copper vessel of mass 50g . Calculate the mass of the ice required to bring down the temperature of vessel and its content to 5c.Given: Specific heat capacity of water=4200 Specific heat capacity of copper =400 and specific latent heat of fusion of ice= 336000.

Solution

Ice is kept at -30 C and it is heated (by the contained) till an equilibrium of 5 C is reached

so, Initial Temperature = -30 C

Final Temperature = 5 C

Here we can use the following relation

Heat Lost by Contained = Heat Gained by Ice

and

Heat Lost by container = Qc = m1c(dt)

Heat Gained by Ice as it converts to water = m*c1*(dt1) + m*L + m*c2*(dt2)

where m is the mass of the copper contained and m1 is the required mass of ice melted

so,

m1c(dt) = m*c1*(dt1) + m*L + m*c2*(dt2)

by substituting in the required values we can get the answer
