10-1.Thermometry, Thermal Expansion and Calorimetry
medium

$50 \,g$ ice at $0^{\circ} C$ is dropped into a calorimeter containing $100 \,g$ water at $30^{\circ} C$. If thermal capacity of calorimeter is zero then amount of ice left in the mixture at equilibrium is .......... $g$

A

$12.5$

B

$25$

C

$20$

D

$10$

Solution

(a)

Heat required to bring $100 \,g$ of water from $30^{\circ} C$ to $0^{\circ} C$ will be $Q=100 \times 1 \times 30=3000 \,cal$

$\therefore$ Amount of ice that get melted $=\frac{3000}{80}=37.5 \,g$

So amount left $=12.5 \,g$
