Calculate the mass of ice that would melt when 2kg of copper is quickly transferred from boiling water to a block of ice without heat loss (specific heat capacity of copper = 400Jkg1k1, latent heat of fusion of ice = 3.3 x 105Jkg1)

A.

833kg

B.

3.380kg

C.

8033kg

D.

3.38kg

Correct answer is A

mcΔθ = mλf

2 x 400 (100 - 0) = m(3.3 x 105)

m = 2×400×1003.3×105=833kg
