A mass of 1 kg1 \text{ kg} of ice at 0^{}^{{}^{\circ}} \text{C} is mixed with 1 kg1 \text{ kg} 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 3.36×105 J kg−13.36 \times 10^5 \text{ J kg}^{-1} and the latent heat of vaporization of water is 2.26×106 J kg−12.26 \times 10^6 \text{ J kg}^{-1}.

Options

  1. A335 g335 \text{ g} steam and 1.665 kg1.665 \text{ kg} water
  2. B851 g851 \text{ g} steam and 1.149 kg1.149 \text{ kg} water
  3. C1.335 kg1.335 \text{ kg} steam and 665 g665 \text{ g} water
  4. D665 g665 \text{ g} steam and 1.335 kg1.335 \text{ kg} water

Correct answer

D. 665 g665 \text{ g} steam and 1.335 kg1.335 \text{ kg} water

Step-by-step solution

Heat required to convert 1 kg1 \text{ kg} of ice at 0^{}^{{}^{\circ}} \text{C} to water at 100^{}^{{}^{\circ}} \text{C} is given by:

Q1=miceLf+miceCwΔTQ_1 = m_{\text{ice}} L_f + m_{\text{ice}} C_w \Delta T

Q1=1×3.36×105+1×4200×100Q_1 = 1 \times 3.36 \times 10^5 + 1 \times 4200 \times 100

Q1=3.36×105+4.20×105=7.56×105 JQ_1 = 3.36 \times 10^5 + 4.20 \times 10^5 = 7.56 \times 10^5 \text{ J}

Heat released if the entire 1 kg1 \text{ kg} of steam at 100^{}^{{}^{\circ}} \text{C} condenses to water at 100^{}^{{}^{\circ}} \text{C}:

Q2=msteamLv=1×2.26×106=22.6×105 JQ_2 = m_{\text{steam}} L_v = 1 \times 2.26 \times 10^6 = 22.6 \times 10^5 \text{ J}

Since Q2>Q1Q_2 > Q_1, 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 mm be the mass of steam that condenses to provide the required heat Q1Q_1:

mLv=Q1m L_v = Q_1

m×2.26×106=7.56×105m \times 2.26 \times 10^6 = 7.56 \times 10^5

m=7.56×1052.26×106≈0.3345 kg=334.5 gm = \dfrac{7.56 \times 10^5}{2.26 \times 10^6} \approx 0.3345 \text{ kg} = 334.5 \text{ g}

The mass of steam remaining in the mixture:

mremaining steam=1000 g−334.5 g=665.5 g≈665 gm_{\text{remaining steam}} = 1000 \text{ g} - 334.5 \text{ g} = 665.5 \text{ g} \approx 665 \text{ g}

The total mass of water in the mixture is the initial mass of ice plus the mass of condensed steam:

mwater=1000 g+334.5 g=1334.5 g≈1.335 kgm_{\text{water}} = 1000 \text{ g} + 334.5 \text{ g} = 1334.5 \text{ g} \approx 1.335 \text{ kg}

The final composition of the system is 665 g665 \text{ g} of steam and 1.335 kg1.335 \text{ kg} of water.
