Answer:
The total thermal energy required is 8.93 Kcal
Step-by-step explanation:
Given;
mass of the ice cube, m = 43 g
specific heat capacity of water, Cp = 4.18 J/gc
specific latent heat of fusion of ice, Cf = 334 J/g
First step, determine the heat needed to raise the temperature of the ice from -16.5 °C to 0° C
Q₁ = mCp[0 - (-16.5)]
Q₁ = 43 x 4.18(16.5)
Q₁ = 2965.71 J
Second step, determine the latent heat of fusion of ice at 0°C
Q₂ = mCf
Q₂ = 43 x 334
Q₂ = 14362 J
Third step, determine the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of the water initially at 0°C to above 11.5 °C of boiling point of water.
The final temperature of the water = 11.5 °C + 100° C = 111.5 °C
Q₃ = mCp Δθ
Q₃ = 43 x 4.18 (111.5 - 0)
Q₃ = 20041 J
Total thermal energy required = Q₁ + Q₂ + Q₃
Total thermal energy required = 2965.71 J + 14362 J + 20041 J
Total thermal energy required = 37,368.71 J
Total thermal energy required = 8.93 Kcal
