JAMB 2020 - Question 24
Physics 2020 JAMB Past Questions - Question 24: calculate the mass of ice that would melt when 2 kg of copper is quickly transferred from boiling water to a block of ice without heat loss
Choose the correct answers from the options given.
A:
B:
C:
D:
Correct Answer
A
Explanation
Heat given off by the copper = MCt
= 2 x 400 x (100 - 0)
Heat absorbed by the ice = ML
= M x 3.3 x 10^5
Heat lost = Heat gained
∴ M x 3.3 x 105 = 2 x 400 x 100
∴ M = (2 x 400 x 100)/3.3 x 10^5
= 8/33Kg
