Ice at \(-20\,^oC\) is added to \(50\,g\) of water at \(40\,^oC.\) When the temperature of the mixture reaches \(0\,^oC,\) it is found that \(20\,g\) of ice is still unmelted. The amount of ice added to the water was close to ........\(g\) (Specific heat of water \(= 4.2\,J/g/^oC)\) Heat of fusion of water at \(0^oC = 334\,J/g\) )

  1. A \(50\)
  2. B \(100\)
  3. C \(60\)
  4. D \(40\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(40\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(m \times 0.5 \times 20 + \left( {m - 20} \right) \times 80\) \( = 50 \times 1 \times 40\) \( \Rightarrow 90\,m - 1600 = 2000\) \( \Rightarrow 90\,m = 3600\) \( \Rightarrow m = 40\,gm\)
