Marks: +1, -0
The temperature of 170g of water at 50∘C is lowered to 5∘C by adding certain amount of ice to it. Find the mass of ice added.
Given : Specific heat capacity of water =4200
Jkg−1∘C−1 and Specific latent heat of ice =336000Jkg−1.
Solution:
Given : mass of the water =170g=1701000kg ,
Initial temperature =50∘C .
Let the mass of ice added be = ' x ' kg
Given that the final temperature of mixture =5∘C
Heat lost by water =m×c×∆T
=1701000×4200×(50−5)
=32130J
Now the change in ice will be as
Ice at 0∘C→ Water at 0∘C→ Water at 5∘C
∴ Heat gained by ice
=m′L+m′c∆T′
=x×336000+x×4200×(5−0)
=336000x+21000x
=357000xJ
By the principle of calorimetry,
Heat lost by water = Heat gained by ice
∴32130=357000x
or x=32130357000
=0.09kg or 90g
