Thermal Properties of Matter - Result Question 40

41. If $1 g$ of steam is mixed with $1 g$ of ice, then the resultant temperature of the mixture is

(a) $270^{\circ} C$

(b) $230^{\circ} C$

(c) $100^{\circ} C$

(d) $50^{\circ} C$

Answer:

Correct Answer: 41. (c)

Solution:

  1. (c) Heat required by ice at $0^{\circ} C$ to reach a temperature of $100^{\circ} C=m L+m c \Delta \theta$

$=1 \times 80+1 \times 1 \times(100-0)=180 cal$

Heat available with $1 g$ steam to condense into $1 g$ of water at $100^{\circ} C=536 cal$.

Obviously the whole steam will not be condensed and ice will attain a temperature of $100^{\circ} C$; so the temperature of mixture $=100^{\circ} C$.
