Question

7. Calculate the amount of energy required heat 100.g to
H2O(s) changes to H2O(l) at 0°C

Answer 1

33300J

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of ice = 100g

Unknown:

Amount of energy = ?

Solution:

This is a phase change process from solid to liquid. In this case, the latent heat of melting of ice is 3.33 x 10⁵ J/kg.

So;

H = mL

m is the mass

L is the latent heat of melting ice

Now, insert the parameters and solve;

H = mL

mass from gram to kilogram;

100g gives 0.1kg

H = 0.1 x 3.33 x 10⁵ = 33300J
