Question
A copper block of mass 2.5 kg is heated in a furnace to a temperature of 500 °C and then placed on a large ice block. What is the maximum amount of ice that can melt? (Specific heat of copper = 0.39 J g–1 K–1; heat of fusion of water = 335 J g–1).

Solution 1
Mass of the copper block, m = 2.5 kg = 2500 g
Rise in the temperature of the copper block, Δθ = 500°C
Specific heat of copper, C = 0.39 J g–1 °C–1
Heat of fusion of water, L = 335 J g–1
The maximum heat the copper block can lose, Q = mCΔθ
= 2500 × 0.39 × 500
= 487500 J
Let m1 g be the amount of ice that melts when the copper block is placed on the ice block.
The heat gained by the melted ice, Q = m1L
`:.m_1 =Q/L = 487500/335 = 1455.22 g`
Hence, the maximum amount of ice that can melt is 1.45 kg.
Solution 2
Here, mass of copper block, m = 2.5 kg = 2500 g
Fall in temperature, `triangle T = 500 - 0= 500^@C`
Specific heat of copper, `c = 0.39 J g^(-1) ""^@C^(-1)`
Latent heat of fusion, `L = 335 J g^(-1)`
Let the mass of ice melted be m'
As, Heat gained by ice = Heat lost by copper
`:. m'L = mc triangle T`
`m' = (mc triangleT)/L`
`m' = (2500xx0.39xx500)/335 =1500 g = 1.5 kg`

During summers in India, one of the common practice to keep cool is to make ice balls of crushed ice, dip it in flavoured sugar syrup and sip it. For this a stick is inserted into crushed ice and is squeezed in the palm to make it into the ball. Equivalently in winter, in those areas where it snows, people make snow balls and throw around. Explain the formation of ball out of crushed ice or snow in the light of P–T diagram of water.
