The latent heat of melting is 80 calories for 1 gram of ice. if 1 gram of ice absorbs 60 calories what do i get?
Eva8 [605]
Latent heat of melting is the energy that a solid absorbs to change its phase as its liquid. During this process, since all energy is used to change the phase, the temperature is constant.

Here the latent energy of melting for 1 g of ice is 80 calories and that 1 g of ice only absorbed 60 calories. hence the phase is not changed because it requires more 20 calories to melt.

Hence 1 g of ice remains as its solid phase (ice).

In terms of energy what kind of system is a sealed glass terrarium on a windsill?
Snezhnost [94]
If the sealed glass is permeable to sunlight or to transfer of heat will be an open system, but if the sealed glass is a thermic glass and doesn't allow exchange of heat and exchange of solar energy (for example a mirrored glass that reflect the sunlight) and the terrarium is not exchanging energy with the surroundings will be a closed system. It is a question that doesn't specify too many details about the system in the study. It is hard to give a final answer without making some assumptions.
