Thermal Properties of Matter - Result Question 45

46. 10gm of ice cubes at 0C are released in a tumbler (water equivalent 55g ) at 40C.

Assuming that negligible heat is taken from the surroundings, the temperature of water in the tumbler becomes nearly (L=80cal/g) [1988]

(a) 31C

(b) 22C

(c) 19C

(d) 15C

Topic 3: Newton’s Law of Cooling

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 46. (b)

Solution:

  1. (b) Let the final temperature be T

Heat gained by ice =mL+m×s×(T0)

=10×80+10×1×T

Heat lost by water =55×1×(40T)

By using law of calorimetery,

800+10T=55×(40T)

T=21.54C=22C
