The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of determining the amount of ice remaining after mixing 500 g of ice at -5°C with 100 g of water at 20°C, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the heat required to raise the temperature of the ice to 0°C. The formula to calculate the heat required (q) is: \[ q = m \cdot s \cdot \Delta T \] Where: - \( m \) = mass of ice = 500 g - \( s \) = specific heat of ice = 0.5 cal/g°C - \( \Delta T \) = change in temperature = 0 - (-5) = 5°C Calculating: \[ q = 500 \, \text{g} \cdot 0.5 \, \text{cal/g°C} \cdot 5 \, \text{°C} = 1250 \, \text{cal} \] ### Step 2: Calculate the heat released by the water when it cools to 0°C. Using the same formula: \[ q = m \cdot s \cdot \Delta T \] Where: - \( m \) = mass of water = 100 g - \( s \) = specific heat of water = 1 cal/g°C - \( \Delta T \) = change in temperature = 20°C - 0°C = 20°C Calculating: \[ q = 100 \, \text{g} \cdot 1 \, \text{cal/g°C} \cdot 20 \, \text{°C} = 2000 \, \text{cal} \] ### Step 3: Determine the heat balance. The ice requires 1250 cal to reach 0°C, and the water releases 2000 cal when it cools to 0°C. Since the water releases more heat than the ice requires: - Heat available after ice reaches 0°C: \[ 2000 \, \text{cal} - 1250 \, \text{cal} = 750 \, \text{cal} \] ### Step 4: Calculate how much ice can be converted to water using the remaining heat. The latent heat of fusion of ice is 80 cal/g. The amount of ice (m) that can be converted to water using the remaining heat is given by: \[ q = m \cdot L_f \] Where: - \( L_f \) = latent heat of fusion = 80 cal/g Rearranging for m: \[ m = \frac{q}{L_f} = \frac{750 \, \text{cal}}{80 \, \text{cal/g}} = 9.375 \, \text{g} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the remaining amount of ice. Initial mass of ice = 500 g Mass of ice converted to water = 9.375 g Remaining mass of ice: \[ \text{Remaining ice} = 500 \, \text{g} - 9.375 \, \text{g} = 490.625 \, \text{g} \] ### Final Answer: The amount of ice remaining in the mixture at equilibrium is approximately **490.63 g**. ---
