A \(0.30\ \text{kg}\) block of ice at \(-10^{\circ}\text{C}\) is placed in a well‑insulated container with \(0.50\ \text{kg}\) of water at \(30^{\circ}\text{C}\). The specific heat capacities are \(c_{\text{ice}} = 2100\ \text{J\,kg}^{-1}\text{K}^{-1}\) and \(c_{\text{water}} = 4186\ \text{J\,kg}^{-1}\text{K}^{-1}\). The latent heat of fusion of ice is \(L_f = 3.34\times10^{5}\ \text{J\,kg}^{-1}\). Determine (a) the final temperature of the system and (b) the mass of ice that melts.

Answer Options

A. Final temperature = 0 °C; mass of ice melted = 0.250 kg (≈0.25 kg)
B. Final temperature = -5 °C; mass of ice melted = 0.120 kg (≈0.12 kg)
C. Final temperature = 2 °C; mass of ice melted = 0.200 kg (≈0.20 kg)
Correct Answer D. Final temperature = 0 °C; mass of ice melted = 0.169 kg (≈0.17 kg)
Correct Answer
D
Correct Option:
Final temperature = 0 °C; mass of ice melted = 0.169 kg (≈0.17 kg)
