Q7 / 160 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Physics · Thermodynamics
of ice at is mixed with of water at . The water content of the final mixture is (Latent heat of ice , the specific heat of water and specific heat of ice )
- A
- Correct answerB
- C
- D
Solution
Here, , and are the mass, specific heat and temperature difference for water respectively. Similarly, , and are the corresponding quantities for ice. Here, is the latent heat of fusion.
We have, the heat lost by water , heat gained by ice .
From the principle of calorimetry, we have, the heat lost by water=heat gained by ice.
Hence, .
of ice melts to form water.
Hence, final amount of water .
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
