Question
A 100 gram glass container contains 200 grams of water and 5 grams of ice all at 0 °C. A 200 gram piece of lead at 100 °C is added to the water and ice in the container. What is the final temperature of the system? (specific heat of ice = 2,000 J/kg °C , specific heat of water = 4,186 J/kg °C, heat of fusion of water = 333.7 kJ/kg, specific heat of glass = 837.2 J/kg °C, specific heat of lead = 127.7 J/kg °C)
Solution
To solve this problem, we need to consider the energy balance in the system. The heat lost by the lead and the glass container will be equal to the heat gained by the water and the ice.
First, let's calculate the heat lost by the lead:
Q_lead = mass_lead * specific_heat_lead * (initial_temperature_lead - final_temperature)
We don't know the final temperature yet, so let's call it T_f.
Q_lead = 0.2 kg * 127.7 J/kg°C * (100°C - T_f)
Next, let's calculate the heat lost by the glass container:
Q_glass = mass_glass * specific_heat_glass * (initial_temperature_glass - final_temperature)
The initial temperature of the glass container is the same as the water and ice, which is 0°C.
Q_glass = 0.1 kg * 837.2 J/kg°C * (0°C - T_f)
Now, let's calculate the heat gained by the water:
Q_water = mass_water * specific_heat_water * (final_temperature - initial_temperature_water)
Q_water = 0.2 kg * 4186 J/kg°C * (T_f - 0°C)
The heat gained by the ice is a bit more complicated because it first needs to melt before it can increase in temperature. The heat required to melt the ice is given by:
Q_melt = mass_ice * heat_of_fusion
Q_melt = 0.005 kg * 333700 J/kg
Once the ice has melted, it will be at 0°C and can then increase in temperature. The heat gained by the melted ice (which is now water) is given by:
Q_ice = mass_ice * specific_heat_water * (final_temperature - initial_temperature_ice)
Q_ice = 0.005 kg * 4186 J/kg°C * (T_f - 0°C)
Now we can set up the energy balance equation:
Q_lead + Q_glass = Q_water + Q_melt + Q_ice
0.2 kg * 127.7 J/kg°C * (100°C - T_f) + 0.1 kg * 837.2 J/kg°C * (0°C - T_f) = 0.2 kg * 4186 J/kg°C * (T_f - 0°C) + 0.005 kg * 333700 J/kg + 0.005 kg * 4186 J/kg°C * (T_f - 0°C)
Solving this equation for T_f will give us the final temperature of the system.
