Properties Of Solids And Liquids Question 564
Question: 2 kg of ice at is mixed with 5kg of water at in an insulating vessel having a negligible heat capacity. Calculate the final mass of water remaining in the container. It is given that the specific heats of water and ice are and while the latent heat of fusion of ice is 80 kcal/kg
Options:
A) 7kg
B) 6kg
C) 4kg
D) 2kg
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
Initially ice will absorb heat to raise its temperature to
If
By Law of mixture
Heat gained by ice = Heat lost by water
So, final mass of water = Initial mass of water + Mass of
Ice that melts = 5 +1 = 6kg
