Answer:

0.02kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Temperature of ice = 0°C

Energy = 6.8 x 10³J(let us assume it is 10³)

Unknown:

Mass of ice melted = ?

Solution:

This problem deals with a change of state physical change. The ice changes to water at the same temperature.

Heat changes accompanying such reactions is given by;

H = mL

where m is the mass

L is the heat of vaporization

For water L = 3.3×10⁵ joule/kg

Since m is the unknown; we can solve for it;

m =
(6800)/(330000) = 0.02kg
