A 100.0g ice cube at 0.0°C is placed in 650g of water at 25°C . what is the final temperature of the mixture?
Step 1: The heat given by the hot water in order to come to the final temperature of the mixture will be same as the amount of heat gained by the ice to convert to water and raise the temperature of the water.
Let the whole amount of water present is converted to ice and its temperature is raised to some final temperature of mixture.
The amount of water present is 100.0 gm and the latent heat of fusion of ice is 333.6 J/gm
The amount of heat required by the ice to convert to water is,
Step 2: The amount of water at 0C is 100.0 gm and the specific heat capacity of water is .
4.2 J/gmC
The amount heat required by water at 0C to raise its temperature to final temperature is,
Step 3: The amount of water at 25C is 650.0 gm and the specific heat capacity of water is.
4.2 J/gmC
The amount of heat given by the water at 25Cis,
Step 4: The gained by cold body is same as the heat lost by the hot body. Therefore,
Therefore, the final temperature of mixture is 11.08C.
