$150 \mathrm{~g}$ of ice is mixed with $100 \mathrm{~g}$ of water at temperature $80^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. The latent heat of ice is $80 \mathrm{cal} / \mathrm{g}$ and the specific heat of water is $1 \mathrm{cal} / \mathrm{g}-{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. Assuming no heat loss to the environment, the amount of ice which does not melt is -

Options:
  • A $100 \mathrm{~g}$
  • B $0 \mathrm{~g}$
  • C $150 \mathrm{~g}$
  • D $50 \mathrm{~g}$

The correct answer is: $50 \mathrm{~g}$
Heat loss by water = heat gain by ice.
$100 \times 1 \times 80=\mathrm{m} \times 80$
$\mathrm{m}=100 \mathrm{gm}$ ice melt
$\therefore$ Remaining ice $=50 \mathrm{~g}$
