Answer:
(a) 5.43 x 10⁵ J
(b) 3.07 x 10⁵ J
(c) 45 °C
Explanation:
(a)
= Latent heat of fusion of ice to water = 3.33 x 10⁵ J/kg
m = mass of ice = 1.63 kg
= Energy required to melt the ice
Energy required to melt the ice is given as
= m
= (1.63) (3.33 x 10⁵)
= 5.43 x 10⁵ J
(b)
E = Total energy transferred = 8.50 x 10⁵ J
Q = Amount of energy remaining to raise the temperature
Using conservation of energy
E = + Q
8.50 x 10⁵ = 5.43 x 10⁵ + Q
Q = 3.07 x 10⁵ J
(c)
T₀ = initial temperature = 0°C
T = Final temperature
m = mass of water = 1.63 kg
c = specific heat of water = 4186 J/(kg °C)
Q = Amount of energy to raise the temperature of water = 3.07 x 10⁵ J
Using the equation
Q = m c (T - T₀)
3.07 x 10⁵ = (1.63) (4186) (T - 0)
T = 45 °C
