Calculate the mass of ice needed to cool 150 g150\,\text{g} of water contained in a calorimeter of mass 50 g50\,\text{g} at 32∘ C32^{\circ}\,\text{C} such that the final temperature is 5∘ C5^{\circ}\,\text{C}.
Specific heat capacity of calorimeter =0.4 J/=0.4\,\text{J}/  gC C\,\text{g}^{C}\,\text{C}
Specific heat capacity of water =4.2 J/(g∘C)=4.2\,\text{J}/(\text{g}^{\circ}\text{C})
Latent heat capacity of ice =330 J/g=330\,\text{J}/\text{g}
Solution:  
Let the mass of ice be =′m′g= {}' m' g .
As ice will gain heat from calorimeter and water, it will undergo conversion as :
  Ice  →  Water  →  Water  \;\text{Ice}\;\rightarrow\;\text{Water}\;\rightarrow\;\text{Water}\;
  (at 0∘C) (at 0∘C) (at 5∘C)  \;\text{(at }0^{\circ}\text{C}\text{) (at }0^{\circ}\text{C}\text{) (at }5^{\circ}\text{C}\text{)}\;
So, heat gained =mL+mcΔT=m L + m c \Delta T
  =m×330+m×4.2×(5−0)\;= m \times 330 + m \times 4.2 \times (5-0)
  =330m+21m\;=330 m + 21 m
  =(351m) J.\;= (351 m) \,\text{J}.
∵\because Heat is lost by calorimeter and water both,
∴\therefore Heat lost by calorimeter
  =m1c1ΔT1\;= m_1 c_1 \Delta T_1
  =50×0.4×(32−5)\;=50 \times 0.4 \times (32-5)
  =540 J\;=540 \,\text{J}
Heat lost by hot water
  =m2CWΔT2\;= m_2 C_W \Delta T_2
  =150×4.2×(32−5)\;=150 \times 4.2 \times (32-5)
  =150×4.2×27\;=150 \times 4.2 \times 27
  =17010 J\;=17010 \,\text{J}
∴\therefore Total heat lost =540+17010=17550 J=540+17010=17550 \,\text{J}
By the principle of calorimetry
    Heat gained = Heat lost  \;\;\text{Heat gained = Heat lost}\;
  ∴    351m=17550\;\therefore\;\; 351 m = 17550
    or    m=17550351=50 g\;\;\text{or}\;\; m=\frac{17550}{351}=50\,\text{g}
