Question

A 39.0 g block of ice at -10 oC is dropped into a calorimeter (of negligible mass) containing water at 25oC. When equilibrium is reached, the final temperatures is 5oC. How much water did the calorimeter initially contain? Assume no heat is exchanged between the container and the surroundings.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given:- A block mass = 39 g 

 ice temperature at -10°C is dropped into  calorimeter

calorimeter contain water at 25°C

In equilibrium final temperature is 5°C

Find:- How much water did the calorimeter initially contain
