Homework Statement
An insulated beaker with negligible mass contains liquid water with a mass of 0.325 \rm{kg} and a temperature of 69.9 C.
How much ice at a temperature of -15.0 C must be dropped into the water so that the final temperature of the system will be 39.0 C?
Take the specific heat of liquid water to be 4190 , the specific heat of ice to be 2100 , and the heat of fusion for water to be 334
Homework Equations
Q = mcT
Q = mL
The Attempt at a Solution
m = mass of ice
Melt Ice = 334 * m
Heat Ice = 2100 * (0--15) * m
Heat ice water = m*4190 * (39-0)
Cool Water = 0.325 * 4190 (39-69.9) = 42078.075
Solve for m
42078.075 = 334 * m + 2100 * (0--15) * m + m*4190 * (39-0)
m= 0.2155 kg
Found another equation and used it and got the same answer... not sure where I am going wrong.
Mice = Mwater * Cwater (Tf - Twater)/(Cice * Tice -Lf - Cwater * Tf)
[0.325 * 4190 * (39-69.9)] / (2100 * -15 -334-4190*39) =0.2155kg
