How much heat energy is required to liquify a 4.40-g ice cube at -6 °C? (heat of fusion of ice is 333 000 J/kg, specific heat of ice is 2090 J/kg⋅°C
Please help me understand by showing the work.
Solution:
Given,
mass of ice
Latent heat if fusion of ice
specific heat of ice
The ice is at a initial temperature of
The final temperature is
So, the change in temperature
The heat energy supplied to the ice will be used in increasing the temperature and for liquifying the ice.
Heat energy for temperature increse from to is
Heat energy for liquifying ice at is
So, the heat energy Q is given by,.
