An aluminium tray of mass 400g containing 300g of water is placed in a refrigerator. After 80 minutes, the
tray is removed and it is found that 60g of water remains unfrozen at 0^oC. If the initial temperature of the tray and its contents was 20^oC, determine the average amount of heat removed per minute by the refrigerator. Take s.h.c of aluminium = 900JKg-1K-1, s.h.c of water = 4200JKg-1K-1, s.l.h. of fusion of ice = 3.4*25JKg

Heat lost by tray = mc?? = 0.4*900*(20-0)= 7200J
Heat lost by water = mc??= 0.3*4200*20 = 25, 200J
Latent heat of ice given out = mlf = (0.3-0.06)*340, 000 = 999, 600J
Total heat energy absorbed by the refrigerator =3600+25200+999600= 114000J
Hence amount of heat removed per minute = 114000J/80min = 1425J/min
