Question: Question 2 - 1 ( Thermal Equilibrium ) ( a ) A small cup holding 0 . 1 0 0 kg of room temperature water

Question 2-1(Thermal Equilibrium)
(a) A small cup holding 0.100 kg of room temperature water at 20.0C(293K) is dumped into a larger cup holding 0.500 kg of very hot water at 97.0C(370K). Assuming the large cup is perfectly insulated from the surrounding room, calculate the final temperature of the combined 0.600 kg of water once it reaches thermal equilibrium. You may approximate the specific heat of water to be 4.00kJkgK.
(b) An extremely cold ice cube with a mass mice=1.50kg is taken from a freezer at -150C(123K) and placed into the cup holding the combined 0.600 kg of water that is still at the same equilibrium temperature you calculated in part (a). Determine the final state of the system (will all the ice melt? Will all the water freeze? Somewhere in between?) and the final equilibrium temperature of the system. You may approximate the specific heat of ice as 2.00kJkgK and the latent heat of fusion for water as 300.0kJkg.
