The temperature of 170 g170\,\text{g} of water at 50∘ C50^{\circ}\,\text{C} is lowered to 5∘ C5^{\circ}\,\text{C} by adding certain amount of ice to it. Find the mass of ice added.
Given : Specific heat capacity of water =4200=4200
J kg−1 ∘C−1\text{J}\,\text{kg}^{-1}\,{}^{\circ}\text{C}^{-1} and Specific latent heat of ice =336000 J kg−1=336000\,\text{J}\,\text{kg}^{-1}.
Solution:  
Given : mass of the water =170 g=  1701000 kg=170\,\text{g}=\;\frac{170}{1000}\,\text{kg} ,
Initial temperature =50∘ C=50^{\circ}\,\text{C} .
Let the mass of ice added be == ' xx '  kg\,\text{kg}
Given that the final temperature of mixture =5∘ C=5^{\circ}\,\text{C}
Heat lost by water =m×c×ΔT=m \times c \times \Delta T
  =  1701000×4200×(50−5)\;=\;\frac{170}{1000} \times 4200 \times (50-5)
  =32130 J\;=32130\,\text{J}
Now the change in ice will be as
Ice at 0∘ C→0^{\circ}\,\text{C} \rightarrow Water at 0∘ C→0^{\circ}\,\text{C} \rightarrow Water at 5∘ C5^{\circ}\,\text{C}
∴\therefore Heat gained by ice
  =m′L+m′cΔT′\;=m' L+m' c \Delta T'
  =x×336000+x×4200×(5−0)\;=x \times 336000+x \times 4200 \times (5-0)
  =336000x+21000x\;=336000 x+21000 x
  =357000x J\;=357000 x \,\text{J}
By the principle of calorimetry,
Heat lost by water == Heat gained by ice
∴    32130=357000x\therefore \;\; 32130=357000 x
or x  =  32130357000x\;=\;\frac{32130}{357000}
=0.09 kg  or  90 g=0.09\,\text{kg}\;\text{or}\;90\,\text{g}
