medium
Calculate the amount of heat (in calories) required to convert $5\,gm$ of ice at $0°C$ to steam at $100°C$
A
$3100$
B
$3200$
C
$3600$
D
$4200$
Solution

(c) Ice $(0°C)$ converts into steam $(100°C)$ in following three steps.
Total heat required $Q = {Q_1} + {Q_2} + {Q_3}$
$ = 5 \times 80 + 5 \times 1 \times (100 – 0) + 5 \times 540 = 3600\,cal$
