\(300 \mathrm{~g}\) of water at \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) is added to \(100 \mathrm{~g}\) of ice at \(0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). The final temperature of mixture will be
  1. \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
  2. \(0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
  3. \(12.5^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
  4. \(30^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)

Solution

Given, mass of water \(m_w=300 \mathrm{~g}\) Temperature of water, \(T_w=25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) Mass of ice, \(\begin{gathered} m_i=100 \mathrm{~g} \\ T_i=0^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \end{gathered}\) Heat required to convert the ice at \(0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) to water at \(0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) \(\begin{array}{lll} Q_1 & =m_i L_i=100 \times 80 \quad\left[L_i=80 \mathrm{cal} / \mathrm{g}\right] \\ & =8000 \mathrm{cal} \quad \ldots(\mathrm{i}) \end{array}\) Heat given by water from \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) water to \(0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) water \(\begin{aligned} Q_2 & =m_w c \Delta T=300 \times 1 \times(25-0) \\ \Rightarrow & =7500 \mathrm{cal} \quad \ldots (ii) \end{aligned}\) From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we observed that \(Q_2 < Q_1\) Hence, total ice will not be melt, so final temperature of mixture will be \(0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) with some unmelted ice in mixture.
