There is a liquid with a mass of 642 grams at a temperature of 24 degrees C and a specific heat of 3770J(kgC) A 50 gram ice cube at 0 degrees C is added. What is the final temperature of the mixture?
How many ice cubes must be added to get the mixture to 0 degrees C?
The heat required by a substance of mass m to increases its temperature from Ti to Tf is
where C is the specific heat of the substance.
Let Tf be the final temperature of the mixture. The heat released by the liquid temperature changes from 24oC to Tf, the heat released by the liquid is
The ice at 0oC first converts into water. The heat required by the ice is
After ice is completely transformed into water at 0oC, the temperature of the water increases from 0oC to Tf. The heat required by the water in this process is
Assuming no heat is transferred to the surroundings, the net heat exchanged between the ice and the liquid is zero.
Using , , we get
The heat required to convert ice cube at 0oC to water at 0oC is
Heat released by the liquid to change its temperature from 24oC to 0oC is
The heat is negative representing the heat is released by the liquid. The numbers of cubes that this heat released can transform from ice at 0oC to water at 0oC.
