Silver and Copper rods of equal areas are placed end to end with the free end of the silver rod in ice at 0.00 degrees Celsius and the free end of the copper rod in steam at 100. degrees Celsius. The Silver rod is 15.0 cm in length and the copper rod is 25.0 cm in length.
a) What is the temperature of the junction between copper and sliver when they have come to equilibrium?
b) How much ice (in grams) melts per second?
** You have not provided the cross-sectional area of the rods. As you can see to determine the mass of ice melt we need to equate the heat transferred in toward reaching the equilibrium to the heat gained while melting (Q=mL) here L is latent heat of fusion of ice. ....
