Answer:
Q = 1461.6 J
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data:
Mass of ice = 36 g
Initial temperature = -20°C
Final temperature = 0°C
Amount of heat absorbed = ?
Solution:
specific heat capacity of ice is 2.03 j/g.°C
Formula:
Q = m.c. ΔT
Q = amount of heat absorbed or released
m = mass of given substance
c = specific heat capacity of substance
ΔT = change in temperature
ΔT = T2 - T1
ΔT = 0°C - (-20°C)
ΔT = 20°C
Q = 36 g ×2.03 j/g.°C×20°C
Q = 1461.6 J
