JEE MAIN - Physics (2019 - 8th April Morning Slot - No. 5)

A thermally insulated vessel contains 150g of water at 0°C. Then the air from the vessel is pumped out adiabatically. A fraction of water turns into ice and the rest evaporates at 0°C itself. The mass of evaporated water will be closest to : (Latent heat of vaporization of water = 2.10 × 106 J kg–1 and Latent heat of Fusion of water = 3.36 × 105 J kg–1)
35 g
130 g
20 g
150 g

Explanation

Let x grams of water is evaporated.

According to the principle of calorimetry,

Heat lost by freezing water (that turns into ice) = Heat gained by evaporated water

Given, mass of water = 150 g

$$ \Rightarrow (150 - x) \times {10^{ - 3}} \times 3.36 \times {10^5} = x \times {10^{ - 3}} \times 2.10 \times {10^6}$$

$$ \Rightarrow (150 - x) \times 3.36 = 21x$$

$$ \Rightarrow x = {{150} \over {7.25}} = 20.6$$

$$\therefore$$ $$x \approx 20g$$
