Answer:

3758 kJ

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the ice = 10 kg = 10 × 1000 = 10,000 g

Initial temperature of the ice = -20° C

Now,

The ice will start to melt when it will reach a temperature of 0° C

and, specific heat of ice, C = 2090 J/kg

Therefore,

Heat required to heat the ice from -20° C to 0° C

Q₁ = mCΔT

or

Q₁ = 10 × 2090 × (0 - (-20 ))

or

Q₁ = 418000 J

also,

Heat of fusion required to change the ice into liquid without any change in temperature.

For ice the heat of fusion = 334 J/g

Hence,

Energy needed by ice to melt, Q₂ = 334 × 10,000 J = 3,340,000 J

Hence, the total heat required = Q₁ + Q₂

= 418000 J + 3,340,000 J

= 3758000 J

= 3758 kJ

Which of the following is a normal cultural characteristic of rural areas
Artemon [7]
I think the correct answer would be A. A normal cultural characteristic of rural areas would be having strong family values. Rural areas are areas where there are few homes and infrastructures and the distance for each buildings are more or less far from each other. This would mean that families tend to be more close to each since they are able to communicate to each other frequently.
