An insulated container contains 15.0 g of steam at 100C. A mass of 65.0 g of ice at 0.00C is dropped into the container (assume no energy is absorbed by the container).
C = Celsius
a). How much heat is released by the steam when it condenses at 100C? (Qs)
b). How much heat is absorbed by the ice when it melts at 0.00C? (Qi)
c). What is the final temperature of the the water in the container? (T)
Part A.
Energy released by steam when it is condensed will be:
Q1 = Ms*Lv
Lv = latent heat of vaporization = 2.26*10^6 J/kg
Ms = mass of steam = 15.0 g = 15.0*10^-3 kg
Q1 = 15.0*10^-3*2.26*10^6 = 33900 J
Part B.
Energy released by ice when it is melted will be:
Q2 = Mi*Lf
Lf = latent heat of fusion = 3.34*10^5 J/kg
Mi = mass of ice = 65.0 g = 65.0*10^-3 kg
Q2 = 65.0*10^-3*3.34*10^5 = 21710 J
Part C.
Suppose final temperature of water is T, then
energy absorbed by ice = energy released by steam
Q2 + Q3 = Q1 + Q4
Q3 = energy absorbed by water at 0 C to T C = Mi*Cw*dT3
Q4 = energy released by water at 100 C to T C = Ms*Cw*dT4
dT3 = T - 0 = T
dT4 = 100 - T
Cw = Specific heat capacity of water = 4186 J/kg
So,
21710 + Mi*Cw*dT3 = 33900 + Ms*Cw*dT4
65.0*10^-3*4186*T = 12190 + 15.0*10^-3*4186*(100 - T)
T = [12190 + 15.0*10^-3*4186*100]/(80*10^-3*4186)
T = 55.15 C = final temperature
