Answer:
2.36 x 10^6 J
Explanation:
Tc = 0°C = 273 K
TH = 22.5°C = 295.5 K
Qc = heat used to melt the ice
mass of ice, m = 85.7 Kg
Latent heat of fusion, L = 3.34 x 10^5 J/kg
Let Energy supplied is E which is equal to the work done
Qc = m x L = 85.7 x 3.34 x 10^5 = 286.24 x 10^5 J
Use the Carnot's equation
QH = 309.8 x 10^5 J
W = QH - Qc
W = (309.8 - 286.24) x 10^5
W = 23.56 x 10^5 J
W = 2.36 x 10^6 J
Thus, the energy supplied is 2.36 x 10^6 J.
