Answer:

Q= mc∆T(ice) + mLF(ice) + mc∆T(water) + mLV(water) + mc∆T(steam)

m=250 g = 0.25 kg = ¼ kg c(ice)= 2100 J/kg.K c(water)= 4200 J/kg.K LF(ice)= 333.7 kJ/kg LV(water)= 2256 kJ/kg c(steam)= 2080 J/kg.K

Step-by-step explanation:

Q= ¼ × 2100 × (0°-(-30°)) + ¼ × 333700 + ¼ × 4200 × (100°-0°) + ¼ × 2256000 + ¼ × 2080 × (145°-100°)

Q= 15750 + 83425 + 105000 + 564000 + 23400

Q= 791575 J
