Answer:
.c. −160°C
Explanation:
In the whole process one kg of water at 0°C loses heat to form one kg of ice and heat lost by them is taken up by ice at −160°C . Now see whether heat lost is equal to heat gained or not.
heat lost by 1 kg of water at 0°C
= mass x latent heat
= 1 x 80000 cals
= 80000 cals
heat gained by ice at −160°C to form ice at 0°C
= mass x specific heat of ice x rise in temperature
= 1 x .5 x 1000 x 160
= 80000 cals
so , heat lost = heat gained.
