Question : 59 of 67
 
Marks: +1, -0
A piece of ice of mass 60g is dropped into 140 g of water at 50∘C. Calculate the final temperature of water when all the ice has melted.
(Assume no heat is lost to the surrounding)
Specific heat capacity of water =4.2Jg−1k−1
Specific latent heat of fusion of ice =336Jg−1
Solution:
Given : mass of water (m)=140g , initial temperature of water =50∘C
mass of ice (m′)=60g, initial temperature of ice =0∘C.
Let the final temperature =T∘C
By the principle of method of mixture, Heat lost by water = Heat gained by ice
mc∆t=m′L+m′C∆t′
140×4.2×(50−T)=60×336 +60×4⋅2×(T−0)
588(50−T)=20160+252T
29400−588T=20160+252T
29400−20160=588T+252T
9240=840T
or T=9240840=11∘C.
