A transformer increases and decreases voltage.
Answer:
As ice melts into water, kinetic energy is being added to the particles. This causes them to be 'excited' and they break the bonds that hold them together as a solid, resulting in a change of state: solid -> liquid.
Explanation:
As we may know, the change in state of an object is due to the change in the average kinetic energy of the particles.
This average kinetic energy is proportional to the temperature of the particles.
This is because heat is a form of energy; by adding energy to ice - heat, you "excite" the water molecules, breaking the interactions in the lattice structure and forming weaker, looser hydrogen-bonding interactions.
This causes the ice to melt. This is demonstrated in the image below.
More generally, when you remove energy - the object cools down, the particles move a lot slower. So slow, that they individually attract other molecules more than before, and this results in a physical change that also changes the state.
<h3>Hello there!</h3>
Here, you are looking for the amount of heat put in for water, at a mass of 187 grams, to change by 80 degrees.
The equation commonly accepted to find the answer to questions like these is the specific heat formula.
The equation is Q = mc∆T, where Q is the amount of energy put in to raise the temperature by a certain amount, m is the mass, c is the specific heat capacity, and ΔT is the amount of temperature change.
The information given:
m = 187 grams
c = specific heat capacity of water, or in this case 1 calorie, or 4.184 joules (which is what we will be using)
ΔT = 80 degrees
Now just plug everything in to solve.
Q = 187 * 4.184 * 80
Q = 62592.64
So you have your answer: 62592.64 joules.
Hope this helped!
