Find the quantity of heat required to convert $40\; gm$ of ice at $-20^{\circ} C$ into water at $20^{\circ} C$. Given $L _{\text {ice }}$ $=0.336 \times 10^6 J / kg$.

specific heat of ice $=2100 \;J / kg - K$ sp heat of water= $4200\; J / kg - K$

A

$18480$

B

$17580$

C

$18685$

D

$17412$

Solution

(d) Mass of ice $=\frac{40}{1000}=0.04 Kg$

Heat required to raise the temperature of ice from $-20^{\circ} C$ to $0^{\circ} C =0.04 \times 2100 \times 20=1680 J$

Heat required to convert the ice into water at $0^{\circ} C = mL$

$=.04 \times 0.336 \times 10^6=13440 J$

Heat required to heat water from $0^{\circ} C$ to $20^{\circ} C$

$=.04 \times 4200 \times 20=3360 J$

Total heat required $=1680+13440+3360=18480\; J$
