An insulated container is divided into two halves by a conducting wall. One half carries 600 g of water while other half carries ice. The rate of heat transfer from water to ice is constant $P$ , until thermal equilibrium is achieved. The temperature variation of water and ice with time is shown graphically, then (Specific heat of water is $4.2 J / g /^{0} C$ , latent heat of fusion of ice is 80 cal/ g ) (Choose incorrect statement)

Detailed Solution

$P = \frac{d Q}{d t} = m_{1} s_{1} \frac{d θ_{1}}{d t} = 600 g \times 4.2 j / g^{0} C \times \frac{40^{0} C}{40 \times 60 s} = 42 W$

$N o w, m_{1} s_{1} \frac{d θ_{1}}{d t} = m_{2} s_{2} \frac{d θ_{2}}{d t} \Rightarrow m_{2} = 2400 g$

It takes (60 – 40) = 20 min to reach thermal equilibrium

$s o, P t = m . L \Rightarrow m = \frac{P t}{L} = \frac{42 \times 1200 J}{81 \times 4.2 J / g m} = 150 g$

$L = \frac{Q}{m} \Rightarrow c a l / g, C = m s \Rightarrow c a l /^{0} C, W = \frac{m s}{S_{w}} \Rightarrow g$
