Question : 3

5g ice at 0ºC is mixed with 5g of steam at 100ºC . What is the final temperature?

a) 80ºC

b) 50ºC

c) 100ºC

d) 150ºC

Answer: (c)

Heat required by ice to raise its temperature to 100°C,

$Q_1 = m_1L_1 + m_1c_ 1Δϴ_1$ = 5 × 80 + 5 × 1 × 100 = 400 + 500 = 900 cal.

Heat given by steam when condensed,

$Q_2 = m_2L_2$ = 5 × 536 = 2680 cal as $Q_2 > Q_1$.

This means that whole steam is not even condensed.

Hence temperature of mixture will remain at 100°C.
