Iced tea is made by adding ice to 500g of hot tea, initially at 80 degrees Celsius. How many grams of ice, initially at 0 degrees Celsius, are required to reduce the mixture to 10 degrees Celsius? (Cwater = 1.0 cal/g°C, Lwater = 80 cal/g)
Added by Heather B.
Step 1
The amount of heat lost by the hot tea can be calculated using the formula Q = mcΔT, where m is the mass, c is the specific heat capacity, and ΔT is the change in temperature. Q = 500g * 1.0 cal/g°C * (80°C - 0°C) = 40000 cal This heat will be absorbed by the Show more…

One liter of water at 54°C is used to make iced tea. How much ice at 0°C must be added to lower the temperature of the tea to 12°C? The specific heat of water is 1 cal/g · °C and latent heat of ice is 79.7 cal/g. Answer in units of g.

How many grams of ice at 0.0°C must be added to 225 grams of tea at 35.0°C to cool it down to 5.0°C? Specific heat of tea = 4.18 J/g°C and Hfusion of ice = 334 J/g.

Three 45 -g ice cubes at $0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ are dropped into $5.00 \times$ $10^{2} \mathrm{mL}$ of tea to make ice tea. The tea was initially at $20.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C} ;$ when thermal equilibrium was reached, the final temperature was $0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. How much of the ice melted and how much remained floating in the beverage? Assume the specific heat capacity of tea is the same as that of pure water.
