$300 \,gm$ of water at $25^{\circ} C$ is added to $100 \,gm$ of ice at $0^{\circ} C$. The final temperature of the mixture is ........... $^{\circ} C$

A

$-\frac{5}{3}$

B

$-\frac{5}{2}$

C

$-5$

D

$0$

Solution

(d)

We know that latent heat of fusion of ice is $79.7 Cal$ per gram.

Let final temperature be $T$.

Then

$m _1 S \Delta T = m _2 L$

$300 \times 1 \times(25- T )=100 \times 75$

$(25- T )=\frac{100 \times 75}{300}$

$25- T =25$

$T =0^{\circ}\,C$

After that total energy left $=4.7 \times 100$

Total mass of water $=400\,g$

Amount of water again converted into ice

$m =\frac{470}{79.7}$

$m =5.9\,g$

Thus whole mass is converted into water at $0^{\circ}\,C$, and about $5.9$ gwater is again converted into ice whose temperature is also $0^{\circ}\,C$.

After achieving the temperature of $0^{\circ}\,C$, latent heat of fusion is required firstly for conversion of water into ice then further lowering of temperature is possible. So the final temperature will be $0^{\circ}\,C$.
