Thermodynamics Question 12

Question 12 - 29 January - Shift 2

Heat energy of $184 kJ$ is given to ice of mass $600 g$ at $-12^{\circ} C$, Specific heat of ice is $2222.3 J kg^{-1^{\circ}} C^{-1}$ and latent heat of ice in $336 kJ / kg^{-1}$

(A) Final temperature of system will be $0^{\circ} C$.

(B) Final temperature of the system will be greater than $0^{\circ} C$.

(C) The final system will have a mixture of ice and water in the ratio of $5: 1$.

(D) The final system will have a mixture of ice and water in the ratio of $1: 5$.

(E) The final system will have water only.

(1) A and D only

(2) B and D only

(2) A and E only

(4) A and C only

Answer: (1)

Solution:

Formula: Specific heat

$\Delta Q=184 \times 10^{3}$

$m=0.600 kg$ at $-12^{\circ} C$

$S=222.3 J / kg /{ }^{\circ} C$

$L=336 \times 10^{3} J / kg$

$Q_1=0.600 \times 2222.3 \times 12=16000.56 J$

Remaining heat $\Delta Q_1=184000-16000.56$

$=167999.44 J$

For meeting at $0^{\circ} C$

$\Delta Q_2=0.600 \times 336000=201600 J$ needed

$\therefore 100 %$ ice is not melted

Amount of ice melted

$167999.44=m \times 336000=0.4999 kg$

$\therefore$ mass of water $=0.4999 kg$

Mass of ice $=0.1001$

$\therefore$ Ratio $=\frac{0.1001}{0.4999} \approx 1: 5$
