Answer:
33300J
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
