A copper block of mass \(5.0\, kg\) is heated to a temperature of \(500^{\circ} C\) and is placed on a large ice block. What is the maximum amount of ice (ઇન \(kg\)) that can melt? [Specific heat of copper: \(0.39\, Jg ^{-1 \circ} C ^{-1}\) and latent heat of fusion of water : \(335 \,J g ^{-1}\) ]

  1. A \(1.5\)
  2. B \(5.8\)
  3. C \(2.9\)
  4. D \(3.8\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(2.9\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Heat given by block to get \(0\,^{\circ} C\) temperature \(\Delta Q _{1}=5 \times\left(0.39 \times 10^{3}\right) \times(500-0)\) \(=975 \times 10^{3} J\) Heat absorbed by ice to melt \(m\) mass \(\Delta Q _{2}= m \times\left(335 \times 10^{3}\right) J\)…
