2 kg of ice at −20∘C-20^{ \circ }\text{C} is mixed with 5 kg of water at 20∘C20^{ \circ }\text{C} in an insulating vessel having a negligible heat capacity. Calculate the final mass of water remaining in the container. It is given that the specific heats of water & ice are 1 kcal/kg∘C1 \text{ kcal/kg}^{ \circ }\text{C} & 0.5 kcal/kg∘C0.5 \text{ kcal/kg}^{ \circ }\text{C} while the latent heat of fusion of ice is 80 kcal/kg80 \text{ kcal/kg} a. 7 kg b. 6 kg c. 4 kg d. 2 kg
