Hi!

Answer:

The change in temperature.

Explanation:

Snow forms at 0 °C, when water vapor converts directly into solid ice crystals. Sleet forms when raindrops fall through a layer of air colder than 0 °C. This means that from the time it was snowing to the time it started sleeting the air has gotten warmer but one layer of air stayed cold, hence the formation of sleet. Freezing rain is rain that freezes when it hits a cold surface. This means that from the time it was sleeting to the time there was freezing rain the air had completely warmed and is now above 0 °C but the ground and all other surfaces are still cold.

I hope this helps, as this happens all the time where I live! :)

How much energy (heat) is required to convert 52.0 g of ice at –10.0°C to steam at 100°C? Specific heat of ice 2.09 J/g • °C Spe
dexar [7]

Answer: The energy (heat) required to convert 52.0 g of ice at –10.0°C to steam at 100°C is 157.8 kJ

Explanation:

Using this formular, q = [mCpΔT] and = [nΔHfusion]

The energy that is needed in the different physical changes is thus:

The heat needed to raise the ice temperature from -10.0°C to 0°C is given as as:

q = [mCpΔT]

q = 52.0 x 2.09 x 10

q = 1.09 kJ

While from 0°C to 100°C is calculated as:

q = [mCpΔT]

q = 52.0 x 4.18 x 100

q = 21.74 kJ

And for fusion at 0°C is called Heat of fusion and would be given as:

q = n ΔHfusion

q = 52.0 / 18.02 x 6.02

q = 17.38 kJ

And that required for vaporization at 100°C is called Heat of vaporization and it's given as:

q = n ΔHvaporization

q = 52.0 / 18.02 x 40.7

q = 117.45 kJ

Add up all the energy gives 157.8 kJ
