A 0.0811 kg ice cube at 0 °C is dropped into a Styrofoam cup holding 0.397 kg of water at 14.8 °C. Calculate the final temperature of the system. Assume the cup and the surroundings can be ignored.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The final temperature of the system is 16.4°C.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of ice cube = 0.0811 kg=81.1 g

Mass of water = 0.397 kg = 397 g

Initial temperature of ice cube = 0°C=273 K

Initial temperature of water = 14.8°C = 14.8+273=287.8 K

We need to calculate the final temperature

We know that,

Specific capacity of solid = 2.09 J/g°C

Using formula of energy

[tex]E_{s}=E_{l}[/tex]

[tex]mc_{p_{s}}(T_{f}-T_{i})=mc_{p_{s}}(T_{f}-T_{i})[/tex]

Put the value into the formula

[tex]81.1\times2.09(T_{f}-0)=397\times4.18\times(T_{f}-14.8)[/tex]

[tex]169.5(T_{f}-0)=1659.5(T_{f}-14.8)[/tex]

[tex]169.5T_{f}=1659.5T_{f}-24560.6[/tex]

[tex]1490T_{f}=24560.6[/tex]

[tex]T_{f}=\dfrac{24560.6}{1490}[/tex]

[tex]T_{f}=16.4^{\circ}\ C[/tex]

Hence, The final temperature of the system is 16.4°C.
