Question

How much heat is required to convert 0.3 kilogram of ice at 0°C to water at the same temperature?

Answer 1

The heat that is required in order to have phase change at a constant temperature is called the latent heat. For water, the latent heat of fusion is 334 J/g at 0 degrees Celsius. To determine the heat required for a given mass of ice, we do as follows:

Heat = 334 J/g (300 g) = 100,200 J <------------CLOSEST TO A
