Marks: +1, -0
A copper vessel of mass 100g contains 150g of water at 50∘C. How much ice is needed to cool it to 5∘C ?
Given :
Specific heat capacity of copper =0.4Jg−1∘C−1.
Specific heat capacity of water =4.2Jg−1C−1.
Specific latent heat of fusion of ice =336 Jg−1
Solution:
Heat given by water to reach 5∘C+ Heat given by copper vessel to reach 5∘C= Heat taken by ice to melt at 0∘C + Heat taken by melted ice to reach 5∘C
mc∆t+mc∆t=mL+mc∆t
where ∆t= change in temperature
[150×4.2×(50∘−5∘)]+[100×0.4× (50∘−5∘)]
=(m×336)+[m×4.2×(5−0)] (150×4.2×45)+(100×0.4×45)
=(m×336)+(m×4.2×5)
28350+1800=336m+21m
357m=30150
m=30150357
=84.45gm of ice.
