Question

10 gm of ice at -20°C is dropped into a calorimeter containing 10 gm of water at 10°C. The specific heat of water is twice that of ice. Neglect heat capacity of the calorimeter. When equilibrium is reached, the calorimeter will contain :

Moderate
Solution

Heat that can be given by water, till it reaches 0°C,

   Q1=10×S×10=100S

Heat that can be taken by ice to reach 0°C,

Q2=10×S2×20=100SQ1=Q2

No ice melts and no water freezes.
