Phase Changes and Energy Conservation

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the final temperature of a system comprising lemonade and an ice cube. The initial calculations show that the heat energy from the lemonade is sufficient to raise the ice to 0°C and partially melt it. After analyzing the available heat, it is determined that 1.06 kg of ice can be melted, leaving 0.94 kg of ice remaining. The final temperature of the system stabilizes at 0°C due to the presence of leftover ice. The participants clarify the calculations and confirm the results collaboratively.

A large punch bowl holds 4.75 kg of lemonade (which is essentially water) at 20.0°C. A 2.00 kg ice cube at -10.2°C is placed in the lemonade. What is the final temperature of the system, and the amount of ice (if any) remaining? Ignore any heat exchange with the bowl or the surroundings.

can someone please tell me how to solve this problem?
so far i have:
(4.75kg)(4186J/kg°C)(20°C) = 397670J
(2kg)(2090J/kg°C)(10.2°C) = 426360J
(2kg)(335000J/kg) = 670000J

You see the heat energy of water is enough to rise the temperature of all the ice up to 0.0 °C. The remaining 355034 J is enough to melt 335034/335000=1.06 kg ice only. I hope you can proceed from here.

wouldn't it be 335034/670000 = 0.53kg ? because Q = m L = (2kg)(335000) = 670000

L= 335000 J/kg. It is the heat needed to melt 1 kg ice at 0 °C. You have Q = 355034 J available heat energy from the warm lemonade.
m=Q/L=355034 J/335000 (J/kg)=1.06 kg.

That 670000 J you suggested is the heat needed to melt all the 2kg of ice. The heat available is enough to melt 0.53 times the original amount , that is 2*0.53=1.06 kg.

oh i get it. so te amount of heat left is 0.94kg and the final temperature would be 0°C because there is still some ice left

This is all right if you meant 0.94 kg ice instead of heat :smile:

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 '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...
