Q.

A calorimeter of water equivalent 10g contains a liquid of mass 50g at 40°C. When m gram of ice at -10°C is put into the calorimeter and the mixture is allowed to attain equilibrium, the final temperature was found to be 20°C . It is known that specific heat capacity of the liquid changes with temperature as S=(1+θ500)cal  g1   0C1 where θ is temperature in °C. The specific heat capacity of ice, water and the calorimeter remains constant and values are Sice=0.5 calg10C1; Swater=1.0 calg10C1and latent heat of fusion of ice is Lf=80 calg1. Assume no heat loss to the surrounding, the value of m is:

Solution: 
Heat gained by ice =mSice×10+mSw×20+mLf=105m.cal.
Heat lost by calorimeter =10×1×20=200 cal.
Heat lost by liquid =504020(1+θ500)
=50[θ+θ21000]2040
=50[(40+16001000)(20+4001000)]=50×21.2=1060 105m=1060+200m=12g
