Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert from °C to °F , the formula is

( F-32 ) / 9 = C / 5

F is reading fahrenheit scale and C is in centigrade scale .

F = 205 , C = ?

(205 - 32) / 9 = C / 5

C = 96°C approx .

Let us calculate the heat required .

Total heat required = heat required to heat up the ice at - 20 °C to 0°C + heat required to melt the ice + heat required to heat up the water at 0°C to

96°C.

= 5 x 2.04 x (20-0) + 5 x 336 + 5 x ( 96-0 ) x 4.2 kJ .

= 204 + 1680 + 2016

= 3900 kJ .
