Question

Take Cice=0.53cal/gC, Cwater=1.0cal/gC, (Lf)water=80cal/g and (Lv)water=529cal/g. In a container of negligible mass 140g of ice initially at 15C is added to 200g of water that has a temperature of 40C. If no heat is lost to the surroundings, what is the final temperature of system in C ?

Solution

Energy required to bring the ice to 00C and melt the ice completely is
140(0.53)(15)+140(80)=12313cal
Also, energy lost by water in cooling to 00C is
200(1)(40)=8000cal
Thus energy lost by water is not enough to melt the entire ice. Hence the ice and liquid phase will remain at equilibrium at 00C with partial ice melted.
Answer is 00C.
