Correct answer: 90
- Given data
- Mass of ice: at
- Mass of water: at
- Final temperature:
- Specific heat capacity of water:
- Latent heat of fusion of ice:
- Heat lost by water in cooling from to
- Heat required to melt g of ice
If g of ice melts, then melted mass in kg is
Heat required for melting:
- Apply heat balance
Since final temperature is , all heat lost by water is used only to melt some ice:
- Check
Initial ice mass is , so melting of is possible.
Hence, the amount of ice melted is:
