Q. A copper block of 2.5 kg $m_{c} = 2.5$ kg is heated in a furnace to a temperature of 500 °C $T_{1,c} = 500$ °C and then placed on a large ice block $T_{1,i} = 0$ °C, $Q_{c} = - Q_{L,i}$ . Specific heat of copper = 0.39 J g⁻¹ K⁻¹ $s_{c} = 0.39$ J g⁻¹ K⁻¹ J g⁻¹ K⁻¹; heat of fusion of water = 335 J g⁻¹ $L_{i} = 335$ J g⁻¹. What is the maximum amount of ice that can melt $T_{2,c} = 0$ °C, in kg?

How it's solved

Solved with Calorimetry

Given

$m_{c} = 2.5$ kg
$T_{1,c} = 500$ °C
$s_{c} = 0.39$ J g⁻¹ K⁻¹
$L_{i} = 335$ J g⁻¹
$T_{1,i} = 0$ °C from “placed on a large ice block”
$T_{2,c} = 0$ °C from “maximum amount of ice that can melt”
$Q_{c} = - Q_{L,i}$ from “placed on a large ice block”

Find $m_{i}$ .

Working

$T_{1,c} = 500$ °C $= 773.15$ K
$s_{c} = 0.39$ J g⁻¹ K⁻¹ $= 390$ J kg⁻¹ K⁻¹
$L_{i} = 335$ J g⁻¹ $= 335000$ J/kg
$T_{1,i} = 0$ °C $= 273.15$ K
$T_{2,c} = 0$ °C $= 273.15$ K
heat warms a body(copper) $Q_{c} = m_{c} \cdot s_{c} \cdot (T_{2,c} - T_{1,c})$
$Q_{c} = 2.5 \cdot 390 \cdot (273.15 - 773.15)$
$Q_{c} = −487500$ J
placed on a large ice block $Q_{c} = - Q_{L,i}$
$(−487500) = - Q_{L,i}$
$Q_{L,i} = 487500$ J
heat changes a phase(ice) $Q_{L,i} = m_{i} \cdot L_{i}$
$487500 = m_{i} \cdot 335000$
$m_{i} = 1.455$ kg
$m_{i} \approx 1.5$ kgto 2 significant figures

Conclusion

The copper cools to the melting point of ice, giving up heat that melts ice; the maximum melt occurs when the copper reaches 0 °C.
