Questions  

19 g of water at 30°C and 5 g of ice at -20°C are mixed together in a calorimeter. What is the final temperature of the mixture? (Given, specific heat of ice = 0.5 cal g-1 (C0)-1 and latent heat of fusion of ice = 80 cal g-1)

a
0°C
b
-5°C
c
5°C
d
10°C

detailed solution

Correct option is C

Heat gained = Heat lost⇒5×0.5×20+5×80+5×1×(θ-0)=19×1×(30-θ) ⇒                            θ=5oC
