Assignment

1. How much heat is needed to change 10 gm of ice at -20oC to steam at 110oC

assuming no heat is lost due to the surrounding?
Ans. QT = 7348 cal.

2. It is found out that 100 kcal of heat is just sufficient in changing a certain amount of
ice at -20oC to steam at 130oC. Determine the mass of the ice.
Ans. m = 0.13 kg

3. 100 gm of ice at 0oC are dropped into 381.4 gm of water at 30oC contained in a 200
gm copper calorimeter (c = 0.093 cal/gm-Co). The final temperature is 8oC. Find the
heat of fusion of ice.
Ans. Lf = 80 cal/gm

4. A beaker of very small mass contains 500 gm of water at a temperature of 80oC.

How many grams of ice at a temperature -20oC must be dropped in the water so that
the final temperature of the system will be 50oC?
Ans. m = 107.14 gm

5. A copper calorimeter (c = 0.093) whose mass is 120 gm contains 350 gm of water at

20oC. Into these are dropped simultaneously 200 gm of aluminum (c = 0.22) at 70oC
and 150 gm of lead (c = 0.031) at 90oC. Find the final temperature of the mixture.
Ans. tmix = 26.16oC

6. 8000 cal. of heat is needed to change how many rams of ice at -20oC to steam at
110oC assuming no heat is lost due to the surrounding?

7. It is found out that 100 kcal of heat is just sufficient in changing a 0.2 kg of ice at
-20oC to steam of what temperature?

8. A beaker of very small mass contains 500 gm of water at a temperature of 80oC. A

110 gm of ice at a temperature -20oC was dropped in the water; find the final
temperature of the system.

9. A copper calorimeter (c = 0.093) whose mass is 110 gm contains 370 gm of water at

22oC. Into these are dropped simultaneously 200 gm of aluminum (c = 0.22) at 70oC
and 150 gm of lead (c = 0.031) at 90oC. Find the final temperature of the mixture.
