Q4. A ‘thermacole’ icebox is a cheap and efficient method for storing small quantities of cooked food in summer in particular. A cubical icebox of side 30 cm has a thickness of 5.0 cm. If 4.0 kg of ice is put in the box, estimate the amount of ice remaining after 6 h. The outside temperature is 45 C, and co-efficient of thermal conductivity of thermacole is 0.01 J . [Heat of fusion of water = 335 ×]
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:


A = Surface area of the box = 6s2 = 6 × (0.3)2 = 0.54 m3

Time gap, t = 6 h = 6 × 60 × 60 s


But Q = m'L
∴ m' = Q/L
= 104976/(335 × 103)  =  0.313 kg
Mass of ice left = 4 – 0.3 = 3.7 kg
Hence, the amount of ice remaining after 6 h is 3.7 kg.
