In an insulated container, you combine hot metal with ice. The ice starts at -20 degree C. The copper starts at 900 degree C. When 15 kg of the copper is combined with an unknown amount of ice, the system reaches equilibrium as soon as all of the ice has boiled to become steam. What is the final temperature of the copper?

Question

In an insulated container, you combine hot metal with ice. The ice starts at -20 degree C. The copper starts at 900 degree C. When 15 kg of the copper is combined with an unknown amount of ice, the system reaches equilibrium as soon as all of the ice has boiled to become steam.

What is the final temperature of the copper?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given :

Temperature of ice, Ti = -20oC

Temperature of copper, Tc = 900oC

Mass of copper, m = 15 kg = 15000g

Mass of ice = mi

Specific heat of copper, C = 0.39J/goC

Heat of fusion of water, L = 335J/g
