Question

A 0.5750-kg ice cube at -12.40degree degree C is placed inside a chamber of steam at 365.0degree degree C. Later, you notice that the ice cube has completely melted into a puddle of water. If the chamber initially contained 6.670 moles of steam (water) molecules before the ice is added, calculate the final temperature of the puddle once it settled to equilibrium. (Assume the chamber walls are sufficiently flexible to allow the system to remain isobaric and consider thermal losses/gains from the chamber walls as negligible.)

Explanation / Answer

heat required by ice to get converted to water = mL + msdT

= 0.5750 *1000 * 334 + 0.5750*1000 * 2.03 * 12.40

= 206523.9 J

mass of water = 6.670*18 =120.06 gm

latent heat of vaporisation = 2264.76

heat contained in water = (120.06)*1.996*(365-100) + (120.06)* ( 2264.76 ) + ((120.06))*4.187 *100

= 385680.744 J

remaining energy after converting all ice to water

385680.744 - 206523.9

= 179156.844 J

let final temprature be T

(120.06 +0.5750*1000) 4.187 dT = 179156.844

T = 61.5613516167 deG
