50g of ice at 0°C is mixed with 50g of water at 80°C, what will be the final temperature of a mixture?
A. 0°C
B. 40°C
C. 60°C
D. 4°C
A. 0°C
B. 40°C
C. 60°C
D. 4°C
Right option is A. 0°C
To explain: Heat required to melt 50g ice = mL = 50×80=4000cal
Heat given out by water in cooling from 80°C to 0 = mc∆T=50×1×80=4000cal
Heat given by water is just sufficient to melt the whole ice. So the final temperature is 0°C.
