Two 20.0 g ice cubes at − 20.0 ∘ C are placed into 285 g of water at 25.0 ∘ C. Assuming no energy is transferred to or from the surroundings, calculate the final temperature, T f , of the water after all the ice melts.

Ft = 17.48°C

Explanation:

Ft is the final temperature. However, ice absorbs heat during two process of melting and cooling and as such, there is no loss of heat to or from the surrounding hence by conservation of energy.

Therefore,

Heat absorbed by water of 20g = heat rejected by water of 265g.

So; M(ice)[C(ice) [(ΔT) + LH(ice) + C(water)(ΔT)] = C(water) M(water) (ΔT)

So, 20[(2.108) [0 - (-20)] + 333.5 + 4.187(Ft - 0)]] = (285)(4.187) (25 - Ft)

To get;

7513 + 83.74 Ft = 29832.4 - 1193.3 Ft

So factorizing, we get;

83.74 Ft + 1193.3 Ft = 29832.4 - 7513

So; 1277.04 Ft = 22319.4

So; Ft = 22319.4/1277.04 = 17.48°C

the order for strong to weak forces such as

strong nuclear force → electromegnetic force → weak nuclear force → gravitational force

the fundamental forces are those forces that act between to objects or element to make interactions. there are four types of fundamental forces such as strong and weak nuclear forces (due to protons and electrons), electromagnetic force (due to the motion of electrons) and gravitational force (due to orbital movement of the planet). if these forces are arranged on the basis of their maximum strength then the order is

strong nuclear force → electromegnetic force → weak nuclear force → gravitational force
