Short Answer

Expert verified
The final temperature of the mixture is (B) \(20^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\).

Step by step solution

01

Write down the heat gained by ice and heat lost by water

To calculate the final temperature, we need to find the heat gained by ice when it turns into water and the heat lost by water when it cools down in the process. The heat transfer process can be described with the following equation: Heat gained by ice = Heat lost by water
02

Express heat gained by ice in terms of mass, latent heat, and specific heat of water

When the ice turns into water at \(0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), it will gain heat due to its latent heat and then gain more heat to reach the final temperature. So, the heat equation of ice becomes: \( Q_{ice} = m_{ice} \times L + m_{ice} \times c \times (T_f - 0) \) Here, \(m_{ice}\) - mass of ice (\(100 \mathrm{g}\)) \(\ L\) - latent heat of ice (\(80 \mathrm{Cal} / \mathrm{g}\)) \(c\) - specific heat of water (\(1 \mathrm{Cal} / \mathrm{g} \mathrm{C}^{\circ}\)) \(T_f\) - final temperature
03

Express heat lost by water in terms of mass, specific heat, and final temperature

The water's heat equation when cooling down from \(100^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) to the final temperature is: \( Q_{water} = m_{water} \times c \times (100 - T_f) \) Here, \(m_{water}\) - mass of water (\(100 \mathrm{g}\))
04

Set the heat gained by ice equal to the heat lost by water and solve for the final temperature

Using the principle of conservation of energy, set the heat gained by ice equation equal to the heat lost by water equation and solve for the final temperature: \( m_{ice} \times L + m_{ice} \times c \times (T_f - 0) = m_{water} \times c \times (100 - T_f) \) Now, plug in the given values: \( 100 \times 80 + 100 \times 1 \times (T_f - 0) = 100 \times 1 \times (100 - T_f) \) By solving the above equation, we get the final temperature: \( T_f = 20^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \) So, the answer is (B) \(20^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\).
