Thermal Equilibrium
 

Thermal Equilibrium problem 9


1 kg of water vapour at a temperature of is placed in a thermally insulated container and 2 litres of ice-cold water at a temperature of is poured into the container. What happens to the mixture when thermal equilibrium is established?


The specific heat capacity of water is 4200 J/kg K and the specific latent heat of vaporisation of water is 2.26 MJ/kg.
