How Does Ice Melt When Hot Water Is Added?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the thermodynamic principles governing the melting of ice when hot water is introduced. Specifically, it addresses the scenario of adding 58 grams of hot water at 71°C to a large block of ice at 0°C. The final temperature of the water and the amount of ice that must melt to achieve this temperature can be calculated using the latent heat formula. Participants emphasize the need for additional information regarding the size of the ice block to provide a complete answer.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of latent heat concepts
  • Familiarity with thermodynamic equations
  • Basic knowledge of heat transfer principles
  • Ability to perform calculations involving mass and temperature changes
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the latent heat of fusion for ice
  • Learn how to apply the heat transfer equation Q = mcΔT
  • Study the principles of thermal equilibrium
  • Explore specific heat capacities of water and ice
USEFUL FOR

Students in physics or chemistry, educators teaching thermodynamics, and anyone interested in understanding heat transfer and phase changes in materials.

Evaporation and Condensation...

If 58 grams of hot water at 71°C is poured into a cavity in a very large block of ice at 0°C, what will be the final temperature of the water in the cavity? in °C


How much ice must melt in order to cool the hot water down to this temperature? in grams

is there an equation for this?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
There's a formula for this involving latent heat. I kinda forgot the details but there needs to be more information.

How big is the very large block of ice ?? I think the temperature would be 0 degrees celsius.

Anyone ?
