When \(M_1\) gram of ice at \(-10\,^oC\) (specific heat \(= 0.5\, cal\, g^{-1}\,^oC^{-1}\)) is added to \(M_2\) gram of water at \(50\,^oC\), finally no ice is left and the water is at \(0\,^oC\). The value of latent heat of ice, in \(cal\, g^{-1}\) is

  1. A \(\frac{{50{M_2}}}{{{M_1}}} - 5\)
  2. B \(\frac{{5{M_2}}}{{{M_1}}} - 5\)
  3. C \(\frac{{50{M_2}}}{{{M_1}}}\)
  4. D \(\frac{{5{M_1}}}{{{M_2}}} - 50\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{{50{M_2}}}{{{M_1}}} - 5\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(Heat\,lost=Heat\,gain\) \( \Rightarrow \,{M_2} \times 1 \times 50 = {M_1} \times 0.5 \times 10 + {M_1}.{L_f}\) \( \Rightarrow \,\,{L_f} = \frac{{500{M_2} - 5{M_1}}}{{{M_1}}}\) \( = \frac{{500{M_2}}}{{{M_1}}} - 5\)
