$300 \,gm$ of water at $25^{\circ} C$ is added to $100 \,gm$ of ice at $0^{\circ} C$. The final temperature of the mixture is ........... $^{\circ} C$
$-\frac{5}{3}$
$-\frac{5}{2}$
$-5$
$0$
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 $0^{\circ}\,C$.
