Heat and Thermodynamics 1 Question 21

21. 300g of water at 25C is added to 100g of ice at 0C. The final temperature of the mixture is..C.

(1989,2M)

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. Heat liberated when 300g water at 25C goes to water at 0C:Q=msΔθ=(300)(1)(25)=7500cal

From Q=mL, this much heat can melt mass of ice given by

m=QL=750080=93.75g

i.e. whole ice will not melt.

Hence, the mixture will be at 0C.

Mass of water in mixture

=300+93.75=393.75g and 

Mass of ice in mixture

=10093.75=6.25g
