Final Temperature After Phase Change

In summary: Thanks for reading my post!In summary, the problem is to find the final temperature of a 150g cube of ice at 0.0 degrees Celsius when it is added to 300g of water at 50.0 degrees Celsius. The specific heat capacities of ice and water are given. The solution involves calculating the total heat gained and lost, and setting them equal to each other.

Homework Statement



find the final temperature of A 150g (0,15kg) cube of ice at 0.0 degrees Celsius is added to 300g(0.3 kg) of water at 50.0 degrees Celsius.

Specific heat capacity of ice: 2.09 x 10^3 J/(kg x degrees Celsius)

Specific heat capacity of water: 4.186 x 10^3 J/(kg x degrees Celsius)



Homework Equations




Q = m x L
energy transferred as heat during a phase change = mass x latent heat

Q = m Cp deltaT
energy transferred as heat = mass x specific heat capacity x change in temperature



The Attempt at a Solution



I wouldn't had problem to solve if it wasnt for the phase change :cry:

For the water q=mcdeltaT
(0,3kg)*(4190j/kg*k)(T-50C)
If it was no phase its the same for the other liquid and then just set them equal to = 0 and find the T:smile: but no with the Phase it will be a bit different but how ?

There are two parts here - first: energy is removed from the warm water to melt the ice. Adding this energy to the ice does not change the temperature of the ice - only the structure!

In the second part energy is removed from the warm water and added to the cold water (formerly the ice cube) until the two liquids are the same temperature.

What I tryed is:

Water Q=mt = 0,3*4190 = 1257J

Ice to liquid: Q=mt = 0,15*334000 = 50100J

1) The melted Ice is now water of 0C = (0,15kg)*(4190)j/kg*K)(T-0)
2) The water of 50c = (0,3kg)*(4190)j/kg*K)(T-50)

solving that (0,15)*(4190)= 628,6T
(0,3)(4190)(T-50) = 1257T + 62850
628,5T+ 1257T=1885,5T

Just a shoot. Here to get a decent answer I took away the energy from the ice melted 62850-50100 = 12750/1885,5T = 6,76C

Comments ? :blushing:

Hi Newton86,

Your work looks okay; but it's a bit hard to follow (especially how you subtracted the heat from the phase change). From your comments, I think it might help to see how it's organized. The formula would be:

(total heat gained) = (total heat lost)

which in this case is, since you know the ice will totally melt:

(heat to melt .15 kg ice) + (heat to warm .15 kg water) = (heat to cool .3 kg water)

or using your numbers

( .15 * 334000) + (.15 * 4190 * (T-0) ) = (.3 * 4190 * (50-T) )

But it looks like this is equivalent to what you did.

Yeah actually :) Only I did not put them up that way
 

1. What is the definition of "final temperature after phase change"?

The final temperature after phase change refers to the temperature at which a substance remains after undergoing a change in its physical state, such as from solid to liquid or liquid to gas.

2. How is the final temperature after phase change calculated?

The final temperature after phase change can be calculated by using the specific heat capacity and the enthalpy of fusion or vaporization of the substance, along with the initial and final temperatures.

3. What factors affect the final temperature after phase change?

The factors that affect the final temperature after phase change include the specific heat capacity, the enthalpy of fusion or vaporization, the initial and final temperatures, and the amount of substance being heated or cooled.

4. Why is it important to know the final temperature after phase change?

Knowing the final temperature after phase change is important in various scientific and engineering applications, such as in designing heating and cooling systems, determining the energy requirements for phase changes, and understanding the behavior of materials under different temperature conditions.

5. Can the final temperature after phase change be higher than the initial temperature?

Yes, the final temperature after phase change can be higher than the initial temperature. This occurs when the substance undergoes a phase change that releases energy, such as condensation or freezing, resulting in an increase in temperature.
