Question

A styrofoam container used as a picnic cooler contains a block of ice at 0°C. If 325 g of ice melts in 1 hour, how much heat energy per second is passing through the walls of the container? The heat of fusion of ice is 3.33 x 10^5 J/kg. Answer in units of W.

Answer 1

30.0625 W

Step-by-step explanation:

325 g/h x (1h x 1kg)/(3600s x 1000g) x 3,33 x 10^5 J/Kg = 30.0625 J/Kg = 30.0625 W
