Calculate the final temperature reached. (specific latent heat of ice = 0.34 × 106 J kg−1 specific heat capacity of ice = 2.09 × 103 J kg−1 K−1 specific heat capacity of copper = 380 J kg−1 K−1 specific heat capacity of water = 4200 J kg−1 K−1) [38.1oC] o oheat abs b A orbed ( by i e ce h fr e o u m ssume the heat exchang wit th s rr 10 C to 0 C by i u i ce to m o nding is negligible.

After all the ice has melted, the final temperature of the entire mixture is 300 K. Calculate the mass of ice originally present. Assume no heat loss to the container and the surroundings. Specific latent heat of fusion of ice = 3.34×105 J kg−1 [0.105 kg] (Assuming the ice point is at 273 K.) 5 Let the mass of ice be kg. heat absorbed by (ice to melt water from melted ice 1 kg of water) 3.34 10 1 4200 300 273 0.105 kg heat supplied by vegetables 1 2200 373 300 m m m m

A thermally insulated vessel containing liquid water and water vapour is connected to a vacuum pump which removes water vapour continuously. When the temperature reaches 0 oC, the vessel contains 110 g of liquid water. What mass of ice has been formed when no liquid remains? Specific latent heat of fusion of water = 3.40×105 J kg−1; Specific latent heat of vaporisation of water 1= 2.52×106 J kg−1 (at 0.01 oC) [96.9 g] Let mice (in kg) be the mass of the ice formed, then the mass
