Question

How much energy is needed to melt 150 g of ice at 0°C to water? (1)(Lf =3.34˟ 10⁵ J/Kg)

Answer 1

Answer:

5.01×10⁴ J.

Explanation:

Applying,

q = Cm....................... Equation 1

Where q = amount of heat needed to melt the ice, m = mass of the ice, C = specific latent heat of ice.

From the question,

Given: m = 150 g = (150/1000) kg = 0.15 kg, C = 3.34×10⁵ J/kg

Substitute these values into equation 1

q = (0.15×3.34×10⁵)

q = 0.501×10⁵ J

q = 5.01×10⁴ J.
