10-1.Thermometry, Thermal Expansion and Calorimetry
normal
$540\ g$ of ice at $0\ ^oC$ is mixed with $540\ g$ water at $80\ ^oC$. The final temperature of the mixture is
A
$0\ ^oC$
B
$40\ ^oC$
C
$80\ ^oC$
D
Less than $0\ ^oC$
Solution
Let us assume that the complete ice melts and final temperature is $T.$ Then, by principle of calorimetry.
$540(1)(80-T)=540(80)+540(0.5)(T-0)$
$80-T=80+0.5 T$
$T=0^{0} C$
Hence, all the ice just melts and final temperature is $0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$
