There are many many fascinating things about water that make it different than any other chemical substance. For example, it is the only known compound whose solid state is less dense than it's liquid state. It also has hydrogen bonding which gives water many "weird" properties. Many chemistry teachers revolve their entire class around the properties of water.

Suppose 310. grams of ethanol (ethyl alcohol) is in an aluminum cup of 90.0 grams. Both of these are at 30.0C. A mass m of ice a

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of ethanol $m_e=310\ gm$

mass of aluminium cup $m_{al}=90\ gm$

both are at an initial temperature of $T_i=30^{\circ}C$

specific heat of ethanol $c_e=2.46\ J/g-K$

specific heat of aluminium $c_{al}=0.9\ J/g-K$

specific heat of ice $c_i=2.108\ J/g-K$

specific heat of water $c_w=4.184\ J/g-K$

Latent heat of fusion $L=334\ J/gm$

suppose m is the mass of ice added

Heat loss by Al cup and ethanol after $18^{\circ}C$ is reached

$Q_1=(310\times 2.46+90\times 0.9)\cdot (30-18)$

Heat gained by ice such that ice is melted and reached a temperature of $18^{\circ}C$

$Q_2=m\times 2.108\times (8.5)+m\times 334$

Comparing 1 and 2 we get

$m=23.65\ gm$

Thus 23.65 gm of ice is added
