10-1.Thermometry, Thermal Expansion and Calorimetry
medium
A block of ice at $-20\,^oC$ having a mass of $2\, kg$ is added to a $3\, kg$ water at $15\,^oC$. Neglecting heat losses and the heat capacity of the container
A
The final temperature will be $0\,^oC$.
B
Ice will completely melt
C
Water will partially freeze
D
Final temperature will be more than $0\,^oC$
Solution
$\mathrm{Q}_{\mathrm{reqd}}=2000 \times \frac{1}{2} \times(0-20)=20000 \mathrm{cal}$
$\mathrm{Q}_{\mathrm{av}}=3000 \times 1 \times(15-0)=45000 \mathrm{cal}$
$\mathrm{Q}_{\text {reqd to melt }}=2000 \times 80=160000 \mathrm{cal} \rightarrow$
not sufficient
