$1 \,kg$ of ice at $-20^{\circ} C$ is mixed with $2 \,kg$ of water at $90^{\circ} C$. Assuming that there is no loss of energy to the environment, the final temperature of the mixture is ............ $^{\circ} C$ (Assume, latent heat of ice $=334.4 \,kJ / kg$, specific heat of water and ice are $4.18 \,kJ kg ^{-1} K ^{-1}$ and $2.09 \,kJ kg ^{-1}- K ^{-1}$, respectively.)

Solution
(a)
Let final temperature of mixture is $T^{\circ} C$. Then,
Heat lost by $2 \,kg$ water at $90^{\circ} C$ to cool down at $T^{\circ} C =$ Heat gained by $1 \,kg$ ice at $-20^{\circ} C$ to reach at $0^{\circ} C +$ Heat gained by $1 \,kg$ ice at $0^{\circ} C$ to change its state from ice to water + Water $1 \,kg$ formed at $0^{\circ} C$ is now absorbs heat to reach temperature of $T^{\circ} C$
$\Rightarrow m_w \varepsilon_w \Delta T=m_i \varepsilon_i\left(0-\left(-20^{\circ} C \right)\right)$ $+m_i L+m_i s_w(T-0)$
$\Rightarrow 2 \times 418 \times(90-T)=1 \times 2.09 \times 20$ $+1 \times 334.4+1 \times 418 \times T$
$\Rightarrow 7524-376.2=3 \times 418 \times T$
$\Rightarrow T=30^{\circ} C$
So, final temperature of mixture is $30^{\circ} C$.
