## Calculate final temperature from phase change: cooling soda with ice cubes

Three ice cubes are used to chill a soda at $\text{20º}\text{C}$ with mass . The ice is at $0º\text{C}$ and each ice cube has a mass of 6.0 g. Assume that the soda is kept in a foam container so that heat loss can be ignored. Assume the soda has the same heat capacity as water. Find the final temperature when all ice has melted.

Strategy

The ice cubes are at the melting temperature of $0º\text{C}$ . Heat is transferred from the soda to the ice for melting. Melting of ice occurs in two steps: first the phase change occurs and solid (ice) transforms into liquid water at the melting temperature, then the temperature of this water rises. Melting yields water at $0º\text{C}$ , so more heat is transferred from the soda to this water until the water plus soda system reaches thermal equilibrium,

${Q}_{\text{ice}}=-{Q}_{\text{soda}}\text{.}$

The heat transferred to the ice is ${Q}_{\text{ice}}={m}_{\text{ice}}{L}_{\text{f}}+{m}_{\text{ice}}{c}_{\text{W}}\left({T}_{\text{f}}-0º\text{C}\right)$ . The heat given off by the soda is ${Q}_{\text{soda}}={m}_{\text{soda}}{c}_{\text{W}}\left({T}_{\text{f}}-\text{20º}\text{C}\right)$ . Since no heat is lost, ${Q}_{\text{ice}}=-{Q}_{\text{soda}}$ , so that

${m}_{\text{ice}}{L}_{\text{f}}+{m}_{\text{ice}}{c}_{W}\left({T}_{\text{f}}-0º\text{C}\right)=-{m}_{\text{soda}}{c}_{W}\left({T}_{\text{f}}-\text{20º}\text{C}\right)\text{.}$

Bring all terms involving ${T}_{\text{f}}$ on the left-hand-side and all other terms on the right-hand-side. Solve for the unknown quantity ${T}_{\text{f}}$ :

${T}_{\text{f}}=\frac{{m}_{\text{soda}}{c}_{W}\left(\text{20º}\text{C}\right)-{m}_{\text{ice}}{L}_{\text{f}}}{\left({m}_{\mathrm{soda}}+{m}_{\text{ice}}\right){c}_{W}}\text{.}$

Solution

1. Identify the known quantities. The mass of ice is and the mass of soda is .
2. Calculate the terms in the numerator:

and

3. Calculate the denominator:
4. Calculate the final temperature:

Discussion

This example illustrates the enormous energies involved during a phase change. The mass of ice is about 7 percent the mass of water but leads to a noticeable change in the temperature of soda. Although we assumed that the ice was at the freezing temperature, this is incorrect: the typical temperature is $-6º\text{C}$ . However, this correction gives a final temperature that is essentially identical to the result we found. Can you explain why?

We have seen that vaporization requires heat transfer to a liquid from the surroundings, so that energy is released by the surroundings. Condensation is the reverse process, increasing the temperature of the surroundings. This increase may seem surprising, since we associate condensation with cold objects—the glass in the figure, for example. However, energy must be removed from the condensing molecules to make a vapor condense. The energy is exactly the same as that required to make the phase change in the other direction, from liquid to vapor, and so it can be calculated from $Q={\text{mL}}_{\text{v}}$ .

## Real-world application

Energy is also released when a liquid freezes. This phenomenon is used by fruit growers in Florida to protect oranges when the temperature is close to the freezing point $\left(0º\text{C}\right)$ . Growers spray water on the plants in orchards so that the water freezes and heat is released to the growing oranges on the trees. This prevents the temperature inside the orange from dropping below freezing, which would damage the fruit.

Is earth is an inertial frame?
The abacus (plural abaci or abacuses), also called a counting frame, is a calculating tool that was in use in Europe, China and Russia, centuries before the adoption of the written Hindu–Arabic numeral system

what would be the correct interrogation "what is time?" or "how much has your watch ticked?"
a load of 20N on a wire of cross sectional area 8×10^-7m produces an extension of 10.4m. calculate the young modules of the material of the wire is of length 5m
Young's modulus = stress/strain strain = extension/length (x/l) stress = force/area (F/A) stress/strain is F l/A x

what is difference between entropy and heat capacity
Varun
Heat capacity can be defined as the amount of thermal energy required to warm the sample by 1°C. entropy is the disorder of the system. heat capacity is high when the disorder is high.

What is realm
The quantum realm, also called the quantum scale, is a term of art inphysics referring to scales where quantum mechanical effects become important when studied as an isolated system. Typically, this means distances of 100 nanometers (10−9meters) or less or at very low temperature.

This may seem like a really stupid question, but is mechanical energy the same as potential energy? If not, what is the difference?
what is c=1\c1,c=2\c2,c=3\c3
Akinbulejo
mechanical energy is of two types 1: kinetic energy 2: potential energy,so, potential energy is actually the type of mechanical energy ,the mechanical due to position is designated as potential energy

Thank you!!!!!

Can someone possibly walk me through this problem? " A worker drives a 0.500 kg spike into a rail tie with a 2.50 kg sledgehammer. The hammer hits the spike with a speed of 65.0 m/s. If one-third Of the hammer's kinetic energy is converted to the internal energy of rhe hammer and spike.
Nikki
how much does the total internal energy increase
Nikki
you know the mass and the velocity of the hammer. therefore using the equation (mv^2)/2 you can find the kinetic energy. then take one third of this value and that will be your change in internal energy. here, the important thing is that spike is stationary so it does not contribute to initial Energ

what is heat capacity?
Amount of heat that increases the temperature of 1 kg of matter by 1 degree(either celsius or kalvin)
Mateo
it is the ratio between the amount of heat added to an object and the temperature change
