Ice of mass 46.5 g at -10.5° C is added to 214 g of water at
14.4° C in a 110 g glass container of specific heat 0.200 cal/g-°C
at an initial temperature of 23.7° C. Find the final temperature of
the system.
°C
heat enegry required to melt ice completley,
Q1=m_ice*C_ice*dT + m_ice*L_ice
= 46.5*2.03*(10.5) + 46.5*334
= 16522.15 J ----(1)
heat energy released by the water and container to reach 0 oC
Q2=m_water*C_water*dT + m_container*C_container*dT
Q2 = 214*4.18*14.4 + 110*0.837*23.7
Q2= 15063.15 J ----(2)
from equation no (1) and (2),
heat enegry required to melt ice completley is greater than the
heat energy released by the water and container to reach 0 oC
hence, final temperature of the system will be 0
oC
