A mass of 1 kg of ice at 0^ ^ ^ C is mixed with 1 kg of steam at...
A mass of of ice at 0^{}^{{}^{\circ}} \text{C} is mixed with of steam at 100^{}^{{}^{\circ}} \text{C}. Determine the composition of the system once thermal equilibrium is established. The latent heat of fusion of ice is and the latent heat of vaporization of water is .
Options
- A steam and water
- B steam and water
- C steam and water
- D steam and water
Correct answer
D. steam and water
Step-by-step solution
Heat required to convert of ice at 0^{}^{{}^{\circ}} \text{C} to water at 100^{}^{{}^{\circ}} \text{C} is given by:
Heat released if the entire of steam at 100^{}^{{}^{\circ}} \text{C} condenses to water at 100^{}^{{}^{\circ}} \text{C}:
Since , the available heat from steam is more than sufficient to melt the ice and raise its temperature to 100^{}^{{}^{\circ}} \text{C}. Thus, the final temperature of the mixture will be 100^{}^{{}^{\circ}} \text{C} and only a fraction of the steam will condense.
Let be the mass of steam that condenses to provide the required heat :
The mass of steam remaining in the mixture:
The total mass of water in the mixture is the initial mass of ice plus the mass of condensed steam:
The final composition of the system is of steam and of water.
