Question

1 kg of ice at 0 degree celsius is mixed with 1k of steam at 100°c. What will be the composition of the system when thermal equilibrium is reached? Latent heat of fusion of ice=3.36 *10^5 j per kg and latent heat of vaporization of water=2.26*10^6j per kg

Answer 1

Answer:

Molecular basis for the Volume Increase of Ice:

As the temperature decreases, the density increases as the molecules become more closely packed. ... The ice structure takes up more volume than the liquid water molecules, hence ice is less dense than liquid water.

Answer 2

1 kg of ice at 00C is mixed with 1 kg of steam at 1000C. What will be the composition of the system when thermal equilibrium is reached? Latent heat of fussion of ice=3.36*105 J/kg and latent heat of vaporization of water=2.26*106 J/kg.
