An isolated container at 127 contains an ice cube of mass 100 g at 0. The specific heat C of container varies with temperature according to relation C= a+bT, where a= 0.1 kcal/kg-K and b= 40 m cal/kg K. Find the mass of container, if the final temperature of container is 300 K.
[Take = 80 cal/g and specific heat of water 1 cal/g K]
[This question is only for Dropper and XII batch]
Given specific heat of container, C= a+bT
The initial temperature of container = 127 + 273 = 400 K
and final temperature of container = 300 K
Heat lost=
=
Heat gained by ice =
=
= 10700 cal
From principle of calorimetry
Heat lost by container= Heat gained by ice
