Question

How much heat is required to convert 0.3 kilogram of ice at 0°C to water at the same temperature? A. 334,584 J B. 167,292 J C. 100,375 J D. 450,759 J

Answer 1

Option C is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Heat required to melt solid in to liquid is calculated using the formula

H = mL, where m is the mass and L is the latent heat of fusion.

Latent heat of fusion for water = 333.55 J/g

Mass of ice = 0.3 kg = 300 g

Heat required to convert 0.3 kilogram of ice at 0°C to water at the same temperature

H = mL = 300 x 333.55 = 100,375 J

Option C is the correct answer.
