    A 2 kg copper block is heated to \[{{500}^{o}}C\] and then it is placed on a large block of ice at \[{{0}^{o}}C\]. If the specific heat capacity of copper is 400 J/kg/C and latent heat of water is \[3.5\times {{10}^{5}}\] J/kg\ The amount of ice that can melt is

    A)  7/8 kg         

    B)  7/5 kg

    C)  8/7 kg          

    D)  5/7 kg

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Let \[x\] kg of ice melt heat lost by copper == heat gained by ice                 \[2\times 400\times (500-0)=x\times 3.5\times {{10}^{5}}\] \[x=\frac{2\times 400\times 500}{3.5\times {{10}^{5}}}=\frac{8}{7}\,kg\]
