A piece of ice (heat capacity =2100 J kg-1 °C-1 and latent heat =3.36×105 J kg-1 ) of mass m grams is at -5°C at atmospheric pressure. It is given 420 J of heat so that the ice starts melting. Finally, when the ice-water mixture is in equilibrium, it is found that 1 g of ice has melted. Assuming there is no other heat exchange in the process, the value of m is

100 g of ice at 0°C is mixed with 100 g of water at 100°C . What will be the final temperature of the mixture?

Specific heat capacity of water is sw=1 cal g-1 °C-1

Specific heat capacity of ice is si=0.5 cal g-1 °C-1

Latent heat of the water L=80 cal g-1 °C-1
