hard
Work done in converting one gram of ice at $-10°C$ into steam at $100°C$ is ....... $J$
A
$3045$
B
$6056$
C
$721 $
D
$616$
Solution

(a) Ice $(-10°C)$ converts into steam as follows
$(c_i =$ Specific heat of ice, $c_W = $ Specific heat of water$)$
Total heat required $Q = {Q_1} + {Q_2} + {Q_3} + {Q_4}$
==> $Q = 1 \times 0.5(10) + 1 \times 80 + 1 \times 1 \times (100 – 0) + 1 \times 540$
$ = 725\,cal$
Hence work done $W = JQ = 4.2 \times 725 = 3045\,J$
