Q.

Two 50 gm ice cubes are dropped into 250 gm of water into a glass. If the water was initially at a temperature of 25° C  and the temperature of ice is -15° C. Find the final temperature (in K) of the water. 

(specific heat of ice = 0.5 cal/gm/° C and Lf = 80 cal/gm).

Detailed Solution

Heat absorbed by ice to get converted from 15C to 00C is 

Qice =100*0.5*15=750cal

Thus temp of water will decrease to 253=22C To
convert 100gms of ice at  00C to water at 00C amount
of heat required is   100*80=8000cal where  L=80calgm1
is used.
To convert 250gm of water at 220C  to water at00C , the amount of heat released will be 250*1*22=5500cal
, total heat released is less than the heat required to convert ice 00C to water at  00C
 aportion of the ice will get converted from ice at  o:CtowateratoO:C

. The amount ice converted from ice 0:Cto water a toO:Cis550080=5508gms

Amount of ice remaining at 00C will be (1005508)=2508=1254gms
Amount of water at 00C  will be (1001254+250)=12754gms

Final temp of the mixture is 00C
