$200 \,g$ of ice at $-20^{\circ} C$ is mixed with $500 \,g$ of water at $20^{\circ} C$ in an insulating vessel. Final mass of water in vessel is ........... $g$ (specific heat of ice $=0.5 \,cal g ^{-10} C ^{-1}$ )

A

$700$

B

$600$

C

$400$

D

$200$

Solution

(b)

Maximum heat supplied by water

$\Delta Q_1=500 \times 1 \times(20-0)$

$=10,000 \,cal$

Heat required to raise the temperature of ice upto $0^{\circ} C$

$\Delta Q_2=200 \times 0.5 \times 20$

$=2000 \,cal$

$\Delta Q_1-\Delta Q_2=8000 \,cal$

Melts the ice

$8000=m \times 80$

$m=100 \,g$

So, mass of water is $500+100=600 \,g$.
