Question

50gof ice at -20Cis heated on an electric heater, till it forms water at 100C. Calculate :
(a) Heat energy required to raise the temperature of ice to 0C
(b) Heat energy required to melt the ice so as to form water at 0C.
(c) Heat energy required to bring water to the temperature of 100C.
Take sp. latent heat of fusion of ice 340Jg-1. heat capacity of water 4·2Jg-1C-1 and sp. heat capacity of ice 2.1Jg-1C-1.

Solution

Step 1: Given data

  1. The quantity of ice is 50g and take specific latent heat of fusion of ice 340Jg-1,
  2. Heat capacity of water 4.2Jg-1C-1
  3. Specific heat capacity of ice 2.1Jg-1C-1.

Step 2: Calculating (a) heat energy required to raise the temperature of ice to 0C

Heat energy required to bring ice at 0C

=mcθR=50×2.1×(0-(-20))=50×2.1×20=2100J

Step 3: Calculating the (b) heat energy required to melt the ice so as to form water at 0C

Heat energy required to melt ice

H=mL=50g×340Jg-1=17000J

Step 4: Calculating (c) the heat energy required to bring water to the temperature of 100C

Heat energy required to bring water to 100C

=mcθR=50g×4.2Jg-10C-1×100°C=21000J.

Therefore,

(a) The heat energy required to raise the temperature of ice to 0C is 2100J.

(b) The heat energy required to melt the ice so as to form water at 0C is 17000J.

(c) The heat energy required to bring water to the temperature of 100C is 21000J.
