Find Ice Melted & Final Temp w/ 10g Steam & 50g Ice

    Final Ice Steam
AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the amount of ice melted and the final temperature when 10g of steam at 100°C is added to 50g of ice at 0°C. The initial calculations suggest a final temperature of -91°C, which is incorrect given the starting temperatures. Participants emphasize the need to account for energy conservation, where the energy lost by the steam as it condenses and cools must equal the energy required to melt the ice and heat the resulting water. Key equations involve the specific heat and latent heats of fusion and vaporization. Clarifications are made regarding temperature changes, highlighting that the change for steam should be (100 - T) and for ice (0 + T).

Homework Statement



steam at 100C is added to ice at 0C find the amount of ice melted and the final temperature when the mass of steam is 10g and the mass of ice is 50g

Homework Equations



Q=mcdT
Q=ML

The Attempt at a Solution



Qmelt=MiciT+MiLf
=0.05(2090)(100C)+(0.05)(3.33x10^5)
=27100J

27100+Micw(Tf-0C)+Mscw(Tf-20C)=0

Tf=[100(0.01)(4190)-27100]/[(0.05)(4190)+(0.01)(4190)]
=-91

am i doing this question correctly? cause in the question it askes for the final temperature but i don't think the finall temperture would be -91 when it starts out with 100C and 0C.. also I am not sure how to find the amount of ice melted can someone help?

i thnk it has something to do with finding out the final temperture then plug it into Q=mcdT and you solve for m?? is this correct?.. but i still don't know how to find the final temperture correctly.. please help
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Since energy is conserved you have:
Energy lost by steam changing to water + Energy lost by that water cooling to T = Energy needed to melt ice + energy needed to heat that water to T
 
so is the equation:

MscwdT+MwcwdT=MicidT+MwcwdT

Ms= mass of steam
Mw= mass of water
Mi= mass of ice..
sorry I'm really lost in thermodynamics
 
Not quite.
The heat of melting/boiling doesn't have a temperature - there is no T change.
When the steam condenses it is cooling from 100deg, this water loses energy so it's temperature change is (100-T)

You will also need these values (or whatever is given in the question)
Specific heat water, c = 4.184 J/g.K
Heat vapourisation = 2260 J/g
Heat fusion = 333.5 J/g
 
I'm pretty sure you're going to need to incorporate the latent heats of fusion in there.

and mgb_phys, are you sure it's (100-T) Shouldn't the change in temperature always be Tf-Ti?

unless you're going to throw the magnitude brackets around it?
 
T is the final temperature, the question needs \deltaT, which for the steam is (100-
T) and for the ice (0+T).
 
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
