Question

CA-2 Suppose you have 2.00 kg of liquid water at a temperature of 20.0 ̊C. You also have a large 
supply of ice cubes which are stored at a temperature of −20.0 ̊C. The specific heat of solid ice is 
2108 J kg−1 ˚C−1, the latent heat of fusion of water is 333,500 J kg−1, and the specific heat of 
liquid water is 4186 J kg−1 ˚C−1. 
(a) What is the maximum mass of ice you can mix with the liquid water so that all of the 
ice melts once thermal equilibrium is reached? Assume no heat is lost from the ice + liquid water system during the process. 
(b) Suppose you add twice the mass of ice that you found in part a. How much solid ice 
will remain once thermal equilibrium is reached? Hint: the final state will be a mixture of liquid water and solid ice.
