    Ice Melting
AI Thread Summary
To determine how much ice can be melted by 320 grams of water at 68°C, one must calculate the energy released as the water cools to 0°C using the formula Q = m*c*ΔT. The latent heat of fusion for ice (333.7 kJ/kg) is then applied to find the mass of ice that can be melted. The calculations show that approximately 0.273 kg of ice can be melted by the heat released from the water. This approach confirms the correct use of latent heat and specific heat in the calculations. Understanding these thermodynamic principles is essential for accurate results in phase change problems.

How much ice could be melted by 320. grams of water at 68.0 degrees C?
Would I us mL + mcT=0 for the equation, and do the latent heat of ice for the first part and water for the second?

One must determine the energy (heat) from the mass of water decreasing from 68°C to 0°C. Then determine what mass of ice would be transformed to water at 0°C.

Assuming that L in your equation is latent heat, and by T you mean change in temperature, you are correct.

The heat from the liquid, Q, is just the change in energy in the liquid, i.e. Q = \Delta\,H = m\,c\,\Delta\,T, where c is specific heat.
 
So it would be m(333.7kJ/kg)+(.320kg)(4.186kJ/kg*K)(-68.0K)=.273kg of ice Is this correct?
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
