Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11

A copper block of mass 2.5 kg is heated in a furnace to a temperature of 500°C and then placed on a large ice block. What is the maximum amount (approx.) of ice that can melt? (Specific heat copper = 0.39 J/g°C heat of fusion of water = 335 J/g).

A

2 kg

B

5 kg

C

5 kg

D

0.5 kg

Correct Answer
