Q. A block of ice of mass is at at atmospheric pressure. It is given of heat so that the ice starts melting. Finally, when the ice-water mixture is in equilibrium, it is found that of ice has melted. Assuming there is no other heat exchange in the process, the value of is
[heat capacity of ice = and latent heat of ice = ]

Solution:

The heat capacity given in the question is really the specific heat. Now applying the heat exchange equation:

Solving this equation, we get

The correct answer is 8.
