Given:
- Mass of steam = 1g
- Initial temperature of steam = 100°C
- Mass of ice = 1g
- Initial temperature of ice = 0°C
To find:
- The final temperature of the mixture
Assumptions:
- The system is isolated, meaning no heat is lost or gained to the surroundings.
- The specific heat capacities of steam and ice are constant throughout the process.
- There is no phase change during the process.
Solution:
1. Calculate the heat gained by the ice to reach its melting point:
- The heat gained by the ice can be calculated using the formula: Q = mcΔT, where Q is the heat gained, m is the mass, c is the specific heat capacity, and ΔT is the change in temperature.
- The specific heat capacity of ice is 2.09 J/g°C.
- The change in temperature is 0 - (-10) = 10°C (since the melting point of ice is 0°C).
- Therefore, the heat gained by the ice is Q = (1g)(2.09 J/g°C)(10°C) = 20.9 J.
2. Calculate the heat lost by the steam to reach its condensation point:
- The heat lost by the steam can also be calculated using the formula: Q = mcΔT.
- The specific heat capacity of steam is 2.03 J/g°C.
- The change in temperature is 100 - 100 = 0°C (since the condensation point of steam is 100°C).
- Therefore, the heat lost by the steam is Q = (1g)(2.03 J/g°C)(0°C) = 0 J.
3. Calculate the heat released during the phase change of the steam:
- The heat released during the phase change of the steam is given by the formula: Q = mL, where m is the mass and L is the latent heat of vaporization.
- The latent heat of vaporization of water is 2260 J/g.
- The mass of steam is 1g.
- Therefore, the heat released during the phase change is Q = (1g)(2260 J/g) = 2260 J.
4. Calculate the final temperature of the mixture:
- The total heat gained by the ice and the total heat lost by the steam should be equal.
- Therefore, 20.9 J + 0 J + 2260 J = 0 J + 20.9 J + 2260 J.
- This implies that the heat gained by the ice is equal to the heat released during the phase change of the steam.
- Since the specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 J/g°C, the heat gained by the ice can raise its temperature by Q/(mc) = 20.9 J/(1g)(4.18 J/g°C) = 5°C.
- Therefore, the final temperature of the mixture is 0°C + 5°C = 5°C.
Conclusion:
The final temperature of the mixture of 1g of steam at 100°C and 1g of ice at 0°C is 5°C.
