    \[10\,\,g\]of ice at \[{{0}^{o}}C\] is mixed with \[100\,\,g\] of water at \[{{50}^{o}}C\]. What is the resultant temperature of mixture?

    A) \[{{31.2}^{o}}C\]                             

    B) \[{{32.8}^{o}}C\]

    C) \[{{36.7}^{o}}C\]                             

    D) \[{{38.2}^{o}}C\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Let neat given by water to cool upto\[{{0}^{o}}C=mc\Delta \theta \] where \[m\] is mass, \[c\] is specific heat, \[\Delta \theta \] is temperature difference. Heat taken by ice to melt\[=mL\]where \[L\] is latent heat Also if \[\theta \] is the temperature of the mixture then. Heat taken = Heat given                 \[mc\Delta \theta =mL+mc\Delta \theta \] \[100\times 1\times (50-\theta )=10\times 80+10\times 1\times (\theta -0)\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[500-100=80+0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[11\theta =420\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\theta =\frac{420}{11}={{38.2}^{o}}C\]
