QuestionThermal physics / calorimetry
100 grams of ice at 0°C is put in 240 grams of water at 5°C. The mixture finally comes to equilibrium at 0°C with m grams of ice having melted in the process. Value of m is close to : (latent heat of ice = 3·33 × 10⁵ J/kg and specific heat of water = 4·2 J g⁻¹ °C)
- (a) 0 g
- (b) 10 g
- (c) 5 g
- (d) 15 g
