Question

80 gm of water at 30°C is poured on a large block of ice at 0°C. The mass of ice that melts is

Moderate

A

30 gm
B

80 gm
C

150 gm
D

1600 gm

Solution

Since, the block of ice at 0°C is large, the whole of ice will not melt, hence final temperature is 0°C .
$∴$ Q₁ = heat given by water in cooling upto 0°C
$= msΔθ = 80 \times 1 \times (30 - 0)$
= 2400 cal
If m gm be the mass of ice melted, then
Q₂ = mL_F = m x 80
Now, Q₂ = Q₁
m x 80 = 2400 or m = 30 gm.
