NYSTCE CST Chemistry - Additional Info Sample Questions

A two (2) gram block of ice is floating in five (5) grams of liquid water at 0oC.  If 300 calories are extracted from this ice/water mixture, which of the following will result?  
Specific heat of water = 1.0 cal/g-oC;  specific heat of ice = 0.50 cal/g-oC;  heat of fusion of water = 80 cal/g;   heat of vaporization of water = 541 cal/g.





Correct Answer:
ice floating in water, all at 0oc.
to understand the impact of removing 300 calories from a mixture of 2 grams of ice and 5 grams of liquid water, both at 0°c, we must consider the thermodynamic properties and processes involved.

initially, we have 2 grams of ice and 5 grams of water at the equilibrium temperature of 0°c. the specific heat of ice is 0.50 cal/g°c, the specific heat of water is 1.0 cal/g°c, and the heat of fusion of water (the energy required to convert ice at 0°c to water at 0°c) is 80 cal/g.

when energy is extracted from a system where ice is floating in water at 0°c, the first effect will be on the phase of the water. since we are removing heat, the tendency will be for the water to freeze. however, freezing will only occur if sufficient heat is removed to reach the heat of fusion threshold needed to change the water into ice.

to convert all 5 grams of the water into ice, we would need to remove: \[ \text{heat required} = \text{mass} \times \text{heat of fusion} = 5 \text{ grams} \times 80 \text{ cal/g} = 400 \text{ calories}. \] however, only 300 calories are being removed, which is less than the 400 calories required to freeze all the water.

given that 80 calories are needed to convert 1 gram of water to ice, the amount of water that can be converted into ice with 300 calories is: \[ \text{water converted to ice} = \frac{\text{300 calories}}{80 \text{ cal/g}} \approx 3.75 \text{ grams}. \] this means that out of 5 grams, approximately 3.75 grams will turn into ice, adding to the existing 2 grams of ice, making a total of about 5.75 grams of ice. this will leave: \[ 5 \text{ grams (initial water)} - 3.75 \text{ grams (converted to ice)} = 1.25 \text{ grams of water} \] still in the liquid state.

thus, after the removal of 300 calories, the system will consist of more ice floating in a smaller amount of water, but still at 0°c. both phases coexist at this temperature due to the properties of water and ice in thermal equilibrium at the melting/freezing point.

in summary, after extracting 300 calories from the initial setup, the result is not complete freezing of the water nor any temperature change in the ice. instead, some of the water freezes, increasing the amount of ice, while still leaving some water in the liquid state, all at 0°c. therefore, the correct scenario after the heat extraction is "ice floating in water, all at 0°c."
