Question

Fifty grams of ice at 0◦ C is placed in a thermos bottle containing one hundred grams of water

at 6◦ C. How many grams of ice will melt? The heat of fusion of water is 333 kJ/kg and the
specific heat is 4190 J/kg · K.Immersive Reader

Answer 1

7.55 g

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the relation :

Δt = temperature change = (6° - 0°) = 6°

Q = quantity of heat

C = specific heat capacity = 4190 j/kg/k

1000 J = 1kJ

333 KJ = 333000 j

The quantity of ice that will melt ;

= 0.419 * 6 * 100 / 333000

= 2514000 / 333000

= 7.549 g

The mass of ice that will melt :

2.514 / 0.333

= 7.549 g
