What will be the final temperature, when 150 gm of ice at 0∘Cis mixed with 300 gm of water at 50∘C. Specific heat of water = 1cal/gm/∘C. Latent heat of fusion of ice = 80 cal/gm
6.7°C
Let us assume that T > 0∘C
Heat lost by water = Heat gained by ice to melt + heat by water formed from ice
⇒ 300 × 1 × (50−T) = 150 × 80 + 150 × 1 × (T−0)
⇒ T = 6.7∘C
Hence our assumption that T > 0∘C is correct.
