Ice and Water

The specific heat of water is (approximately) Cw = 4200 J/kg-K. The latent heat of the liquid-solid transition is Lf = 333000 J/kg.


Let kg of water initially at Tw = oC equilibrate with kg of ice initially at Ti = 0 oC. It's all at standard room pressure, and isolated from outside sources/sinks of heat.


a) Will the equilibrium state be (1)liquid, (2)solid, or (3)mixed
(fill in the appropriate number, 1, 2, or 3.)

b) What will the final temperature in part (a) be?
Tf = oC

c) What is the mass of the remaining ice?
Mice = kg
