The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the final temperature when mixing 5g of water at 30°C with 5g of ice at -29°C, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the given data - Mass of water (m_w) = 5 g - Initial temperature of water (T_w) = 30°C - Mass of ice (m_i) = 5 g - Initial temperature of ice (T_i) = -29°C - Specific heat of water (C_w) = 1 cal/g°C - Specific heat of ice (C_i) = 0.5 cal/g°C - Latent heat of fusion of ice (L_f) = 80 cal/g ### Step 2: Calculate the heat lost by water as it cools down The heat lost by the water when it cools from 30°C to the final temperature T can be calculated using the formula: \[ Q_{lost} = m_w \cdot C_w \cdot (T_w - T) \] Substituting the values: \[ Q_{lost} = 5 \cdot 1 \cdot (30 - T) = 150 - 5T \] ### Step 3: Calculate the heat gained by ice to reach 0°C First, the ice must warm up from -29°C to 0°C: \[ Q_{gained1} = m_i \cdot C_i \cdot (0 - T_i) \] Substituting the values: \[ Q_{gained1} = 5 \cdot 0.5 \cdot (0 - (-29)) = 5 \cdot 0.5 \cdot 29 = 72.5 \text{ cal} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the heat gained by ice to melt into water Next, the ice at 0°C will absorb heat to melt: \[ Q_{gained2} = m_i \cdot L_f \] Substituting the values: \[ Q_{gained2} = 5 \cdot 80 = 400 \text{ cal} \] ### Step 5: Set up the heat balance equation At thermal equilibrium, the heat lost by the water will equal the total heat gained by the ice: \[ Q_{lost} = Q_{gained1} + Q_{gained2} \] Substituting the expressions we derived: \[ 150 - 5T = 72.5 + 400 \] \[ 150 - 5T = 472.5 \] ### Step 6: Solve for T Rearranging the equation: \[ 150 - 472.5 = 5T \] \[ -322.5 = 5T \] \[ T = -\frac{322.5}{5} = -64.5°C \] ### Step 7: Analyze the result Since the calculated temperature of -64.5°C is lower than the initial temperature of the ice (-29°C), it is not a feasible temperature for the system. Therefore, the final equilibrium temperature must be 0°C, where the ice melts completely. ### Conclusion The final temperature of the mixture when 5g of water at 30°C is mixed with 5g of ice at -29°C is **0°C**. ---
