Answer:
10043.225 J
Explanation:
We'll begin by calculating the amount of heat needed to change ice to water since water at 0°C is ice. This is illustrated below:
Mass (m) = 15.5g
Latent heat of fussion of water (L) = 334J/g
Heat (Q1) =..?
Q1 = mL
Q1 = 15.5 x 334
Q1 = 5177 J
Next, we shall calculate the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of water from 0°C to 75°C.
This is illustrated below:
Mass = 15.5g
Initial temperature (T1) = 0°C
Final temperature (T2) = 75°C
Change in temperature (ΔT) = T2 – T1 = 75 – 0 = 75°C
Specific heat capacity (C) of water = 4.186J/g°C
Heat (Q2) =?
Q2 = MCΔT
Q2 = 15.5 x 4.186 x 75
Q2 = 4866.225 J
The overall heat energy needed is given by:
QT = Q1 + Q2
QT = 5177 + 4866.225
QT = 10043.225 J
Therefore, the amount of energy required is 10043.225 J
