Solution

The correct option is A

2100 J


Heat released by water to change its temperature from at 20oC to 0oC

= m x c x ∆t

= [5 x 4.2 x (20-0)] J = 420 J.

Heat released when water at 0oC is changed to ice at 0°C = m x L = (5 x 336) J = 1680 J.

Total heat released = (420 + 1680) = 2100 J

Hence, 2100 J of heat energy is released.
