How much thermal energy must be added to a 87.5 g sample of ice at -25oC completely melt the entire sample? As part of your work
1 answer:
Answer:
4.6 kJ
Explanation:
The energy required to raise the temperature of a substance from its initial temperature to a final temperature is given by:
Q = mcΔT
Where Q = energy, c = specific heat capacity of substance and ΔT = final temperature - initial temperature
Given that:
c = 2.1 kJ/kg°C, m = 87.5 = 0.0875 kg, ΔT = final temperature - initial temperature = 0 - (-25) = 25
Q = 0.0875 * 2.1 *25
Q = 4.6 kJ
