In a container of negligible mass, 020 kg of ice at an initial temperature of - 40.0 oC is mixed with a mass m of water that has an initial temperature of 80.0 oC. No heat is lost to the surroundings. If the final temperature of the system is 20.0 oC, what is the mass m of the water that was initially at 80.0 oC

Answer:

The mass is  [tex]m_w = 0.599 \ kg[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that    

     The mass of ice is  [tex]m_c = 0.20 \ kg[/tex]

     The  initial temperature of the ice is  [tex]T_i = -40.0 ^oC[/tex]

     The  initial temperature of the water is  [tex]T_{iw} = 80^o C[/tex]

     The  final temperature of the system is [tex]T_f = 20^oC[/tex]

Generally according to the law of energy conservation,

   The  total heat loss is  =  total heat gained

 Now the total heat gain is mathematically represented as

      [tex]H = H_1 + H_2 + H_3[/tex]

Here  [tex]H_1[/tex] is the energy required to move the ice from [tex]-40^oC \to 0^oC[/tex]

And it mathematically evaluated as

     [tex]H_1 = m_c * c_c * \Delta T[/tex]

Here the specific heat of ice is  [tex]c_c = 2100 \ J \cdot kg^{-1} \cdot ^oC^{-1}[/tex]

So  

    [tex]H_1 = 0.20 * 2100 * (0-(-40))[/tex]  

     [tex]H_1 = 16800\ J[/tex]

[tex]H_2[/tex] is the energy to melt the ice

And it mathematically evaluated as

       [tex]H_2 = m * H_L[/tex]

The  latent heat of fusion of ice is  [tex]H_L = 334 J/g = 334 *10^{3} J /kg[/tex]

So  

    [tex]H_2 = 0.20 * 334 *10^{3}[/tex]

    [tex]H_2 = 66800 \ J[/tex]

[tex]H_3[/tex] is the energy to raise the melted ice to [tex]20^oC[/tex]

And it mathematically evaluated as

    [tex]H_3 = m_c * c_w * \Delta T[/tex]

Here the specific heat of water  is  [tex]c_w= 4190\ J \cdot kg^{-1} \cdot ^oC^{-1}[/tex]

    [tex]H_3 = 0.20 * 4190* (20-0))[/tex]  

     [tex]H_3 = 16744 \ J[/tex]  

So

  [tex]H = 16800 + 66800 + 16744[/tex]

   [tex]H = 100344\ J[/tex]

The  heat loss is mathematically evaluated as

     [tex]H_d = m * c_h ( 80 - 20 )[/tex]

     [tex]H_d = m_w * 4190 * ( 80 - 20 )[/tex]

     [tex]H_d = 167600 m_w[/tex]

So

      [tex]167600 m_w = 100344[/tex]

=> [tex]m_w = 0.599 \ kg[/tex]
