$A$ small quantity,mass $m$,of water at a temperature $\theta$ (in $^oC$) is poured onto a large mass $M$ of ice which is at its melting point. If $c$ is the specific heat of water and $L$ is the latent heat of fusion of ice,then the mass of ice melted is given by

  • A
    $\frac{ML}{mc\theta}$
  • B
    $\frac{mc\theta}{ML}$
  • C
    $\frac{Mc\theta}{L}$
  • D
    $\frac{mc\theta}{L}$

$A$ tap supplies water at $10\,^{\circ}C$ and another tap at $100\,^{\circ}C$. How many $kg$ of hot water must be taken so that we get $20\, kg$ of water at $35\,^{\circ}C$?

In an experiment on the specific heat of a metal,a $0.20 \; kg$ block of the metal at $150 \; ^{\circ}C$ is dropped in a copper calorimeter (of water equivalent $0.025 \; kg$) containing $150 \; cm^{3}$ of water at $27 \; ^{\circ}C$. The final temperature is $40 \; ^{\circ}C$. Compute the specific heat of the metal. If heat losses to the surroundings are not negligible,is your answer greater or smaller than the actual value for the specific heat of the metal?
