A 400-G Block of Ice at - 15.00C15.00 ^ { \circ } \mathrm { C }

Question 58

Multiple Choice

A 40.0-g block of ice at - 15.00C15.00 ^ { \circ } \mathrm { C } is dropped into a calorimeter (of negligible heat capacity) containing water at 15.00C15.00 ^ { \circ } \mathrm { C } When equilibrium is reached, the final temperature is 8.00C8.00 ^ { \circ } \mathrm { C } How much water did the calorimeter contain initially? The specific heat of ice is 2090 J/kgK2090 \mathrm {~J} / \mathrm { kg } \cdot \mathrm { K } that of water is 4186 J/kgK4186 \mathrm {~J} / \mathrm { kg } \cdot \mathrm { K } and the latent heat of fusion of water is 33.5×104 J/kg33.5 \times 10 ^ { 4 } \mathrm {~J} / \mathrm { kg }
