of ice at is added to of water at in a well-insulated container. What is the final temperature, in ? (Specific heat capacity of ice , of water ; specific latent heat of fusion . Assume no heat is exchanged with the container.)
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. 22.2
- Step 1: Calculate energy required to warm and melt the ice: warming ice to requires ; melting ice requires . Total to reach water is .
- Step 2: Heat lost by warm water cooling from to final temperature equals heat gained by melted ice warming from to : .
- Step 3: Expand and solve: .
