Latent heat

Featured Replies

A vessel of mass 80 g(S. H. C. = 0.8 J/g) contains 250 g of water at 35°C. Calculate the amount of ice at 0°C, which must be added to it, so that the final temperature is 5°C. ( Latent heat of ice = 340 J/g).

first we need to convert ice to water. then, can we use the first law of thermodynamics here?

You have to start by finding out the amount of energy (latent heat (of fusion in this case)) 'Q' to melt the ice Q=MLf then add that to the amount of energy required to raise the the temp from 0 - 5 degrees Q=MCΔT. Add the Q's together. then use that amount to find the mass of ice
