What Is the Final Temperature When Ice Is Added to Lemonade?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the final temperature when a 1.74 kg ice cube at -10.2°C is added to 3.95 kg of lemonade at 20°C. The calculations show that the heat required to bring the lemonade to 0°C is 330,694 J, while the total heat required to warm and melt the ice is 619,993.32 J. The negative heat difference indicates that not all the ice melts, and the final temperature of the mixture stabilizes at 0°C. To determine the amount of ice remaining, the user is advised to calculate the heat available after the lemonade cools and use that to find the mass of ice that melts. The conversation concludes with a request for verification of the approach and further guidance on calculating the remaining ice.

Homework Statement



A large punch bowl holds 3.95 kg of lemonade (which is essentially water) at 20 C. A 1.74 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 change with the bowl of surroundings.

Homework Equations



Q = mCT
Q = mLf (Lf = Latent heat of fusion)
Cwater = 4186 J/(kg x K)
Cice = 2090 J/(kg x K)
Lf = 33.5e4 J/kg

The Attempt at a Solution



To find the final temperature, I figured out the amount of heat it would take to bring water from 20.0 C to 0.00 C. It's basically plug and chug.

Qwater = mCT
= (3.95)(4186)(20)
= 330,694 J

Then I found the amount of heat it would take to bring ice from -10.2 C to 0 C. I also calculated the amount of heat it wold take to melt the ice (using latent heat).

Qice = mCT
= (1.74)(2090)(10.2)
= 37,093.32 J

Qice = mLf
= (1.74)(33.5e4)
= 582,900 J

Qice total = 619,993.32 J

Then I subtracted Qice from Qwater, and here was what I got:

Q = Qw - Qi
= 330,694 - 619,993.32
= -289,299.32 J

Since the leftover heat is negative, it means that ice is left over. So that would mean that the final temperature of water would be 0.00 C. I don't know if the thinking process is correct (Can someone help me verify this?), but I do know that the final answer is correct.

The problem I'm having is the amount of ice remaining. Since delta Q is negative, it would mean that ice would INCREASE, right? But I don't know how to solve it. :/

Remember the Q lost by the cooling water must be equal to the Q gained by the warming ice + the Q that melts the ice.

So the difference between the mcT(water) and mcT (ice) would give you the amount of heat still available to melt the 0 degree ice. Use that to find the mass of the ice that melted which will lead to the amount that still remains.
 
Thank you so much! :)
 
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...
