Q.
10g of ice at 0∘C is mixed with 100g of water at 50∘C in a calorimeter. The final temperature of the mixture is [Specific heat of water =1calg−1∘C−1, latent heat of fusion of ice =80calg−1]
Here,
Mass of water, mw=100g
Mass of ice, mi=10g
Specific heat of water, sw=1calg−1∘C−1
Latent heat of fusion of ice, Lfi=80calg−1
Let T he the final temperature of the mixture.
Amount of heat lost by water =mwsw(ΔT)w=100×1×(50−T)
Amount of heat lost by water =miLfi+misw(ΔT)i =10×80+10×1×(T−0)
According to principle of calorimetry
Heat lost = Heat gained 100×1×(50−T) =10×80+10×1×(T−0) 500−10T=80+T 11T=420 or 7=38.2∘C
