Ice at $0^oC$ is added to $200\,g$ of water initially at $70^oC$ in a vacuum flask. When $50\,g$ of ice has been added and has all melted,the temperature of the flask and contents is $40^oC$. When a further $80\,g$ of ice has been added and has all melted,the temperature of the whole is $10^oC$. Calculate the specific latent heat of fusion of ice. [Take $S_w = 1\,cal/g^oC$.]

  • A
    $3.8 \times 10^5\,J/kg$
  • B
    $1.2 \times 10^5\,J/kg$
  • C
    $2.4 \times 10^5\,J/kg$
  • D
    $3.0 \times 10^5\,J/kg$
