A block of ice of mass $120\,g$ at temperature $0^{\circ} C$ is put in $300\,gm$ of water at $25^{\circ} C$. The $xg$ of ice melts as the temperature of the water reaches $0^{\circ} C$. The value of $x$ is

[Use: Specific heat capacity of water $=4200$

$J\,kg ^{-1} K ^{-1}$, Latent heat of ice $\left.=3.5 \times 10^{5} J\,kg ^{-1}\right]$

A

$90$

B

$89$

C

$95$

D

$100$

Solution

Energy released by water

$=0.3 \times 2.5 \times 4200=31500\,J$

let $m \  kg$ ice melts

$m \times 3.5 \times 10^{5}=31.500$

$m =\frac{31500 \times 10^{-5}}{3.5}=9000 \times 10^{-5}$

$m =0.09\,kg =90\,gm$

$x =90$
