    Ice Thermodynamics
AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a thermodynamics problem involving a calorimeter containing water and ice at different temperatures. The first part of the question asks for the final temperature of the system after adding ice, which was calculated to be 16.77°C. The second part involves determining how much ice remains after adding a second piece of ice at -20°C and reaching thermal equilibrium. The calculations for the heat transfer from the ice to water and the latent heat of fusion are outlined, but the user expresses uncertainty about the approach and seeks clarification on their methodology. The thread highlights the complexities of heat transfer calculations in thermodynamic systems.

Two part question, I can answer the first one, but i don't know how

A 200g calorimeter made of aluminum contains 500g of water at 20°C. A 100g piece of ice is cooled to -20°C and is placed in the calorimeter.

(a)Find the final temperature of the system, assuming no heat loss.
(b)If we are to add a second 200g piece of ice at -20°C, how much ice remains in the system after it reaches equilibrium?

Some Constants and Equations
Specific Heat of Ice=2.0kJ/kg°C
Specific Heat of Water=4.186kJ/kg°C
Specific Heat of Aluminum=.91kJ/kg°C
Q=mcΔT and Q=mL

I answered the first one(a) and got 16.77°C.

I tried to answer the second one(b)

Q(1)=mcΔT=(.2kg)(2.0kJ/kg°C)(0°C-(-20°C)) [From -20°C to 0°C]
Q(2)=mL=(.2kg)(334kJ/kg)=66.8kJ [Ice-To-Water]

I'm stuck here... Also, am I doing it right?

Thanks for any help.

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
