Imagine the 10.0g of ice has an initial temperature of -5.0degreesC. Can someone calculate the energy needed to heat the ice, melt it, and heat the water to 54.5degreesC? (Cp of ice=2.108J/gdegreesC)
1 Answer
Total Energy required is:
Explanation:
Latent Heat of Fusion of Ice:
Formula:
Specific Heat Capacity of Ice:
Specific Heat Capacity of Water:
Formula:
To calculate this, first we must find the energy required to raise the temperature of ice from
Now, we must find the Energy required to convert the solid ice into liquid water at its melting point:
Finally, we must find the Energy required to raise the temperature of water from
To calculate the total Energy needed, we need to add all the energy values up:
And there we have our answer.
