Q.

2 kg of ice at -20°C is mixed with 5 kg of water at 20°C in an insulating vessel having a negligible heat capacity. Calculate the final mass of water remaining in the container. It is given that the specific heats of water and ice are 1 kcal/kg per °C and 0.5 kcal/kg/°C while the latent heat of fusion of ice is 80 kcal/kg:

Detailed Solution

 Initially ice will absorb heat to raise it's temperature to 0C then it's melting takes place
If m= Initial mass of ice, m' = Mass of ice that melts and mw = Initial mass of water, 

By Law of mixture, Heat gain by ice = Heat loss by water

m×c×(20)+m'×L=mwcw[20]2×0.5(20)+m'×80=5×1×20m'=1 kg

So, final mass of water = Initial mass of water + Mass of ice that melts =5+1=6kg
