Homework Statement
It's part of a lab designed to find the specific latent heat of fusion of ice using the method of mixtures. The results are in the 1st attachment..I want to find the specific latent heat of fusion of ice from those nos.
Homework Equations
heat lost by water = heat gained by ice + heat required to melt ice
The Attempt at a Solution
mwcw([tex]\thetai[/tex]) - ([tex]\thetaf[/tex] - mici([tex]\thetai[/tex] - 0) + milf
lf = mwcw ([tex]\thetai[/tex] - [tex]\thetaf[/tex]) - mici([tex]\thetai[/tex] - 0) / mi
I don't know how to fix this cursed code...anyways this is the equation I come up with. My friend in his attempt, (2nd attachment), got something different. I also found if you used cw instead of ci at the end of the last eqn you got the precise value of the specific latent heat of fusion of ice.
