Answer:

Either heat added or mechanical work done.

Explanation:

Since he found stirring rod on the desk and a cigarette lighter. This means that the beaker was probably either heated with the aid of fire from the lighter.

Also, the stirring rod could have been used to stir the water which will increase the kinetic energy which also means an increase in temperature.

Thus, it's either heat was added or mechanical work was done as a result of stirring.

How much energy is required to take 500g of ice at -40 degrees to water at room temperature (22 degrees Celsius)? Show work pls
Minchanka [31]

Answer: Given that:

Mass (m) = 20 g = 0.02 Kg,

temperature (T₁) = -10°C = -10+273 = 263 K

temperature (T₂) = 10°C = 10+273 = 283 K

Specific heat of water (Cp) = 4.187 KJ/Kg k

We know that Heat transfer (Q) = m. Cp.( T₂ - T₁)

                                                   = 0.02 × 4.187 × (283-263)

                                                Q = 1.67 KJ

Heat transferred is 1.67 KJ
