Detailed Solution

Here, specific heat of ice,  cice =0.5calg1oC1

Specific heat of water, cwater =1calg1oC1

Latent heat of fusion of ice ,Lice =80calg1

Here, ice will absorb heat while hot water will release it.
Let T be the final temperature of the mixture.
Assuming water equivalent of calorimeter to be neglected.

Heat given by water,   Q1=mwater cwater ΔT

=19×1×(30T)=57019T (i)

Heat absorbed by ice,

Q2=mice ×cice ×[0(20)]+mice ×Lf ice  +mice ×cwater ×(T0)

=5×0.5×20+5×80+5×1×T=450+5T (ii) 

According to principle of calorimetry,  Q1=Q2

57019T=450+5TT=12024=5C
