Solution

The correct option is A 3045J
We know specific heat of ice is 0.5 cal/gK, specific heat of water=1cal/gK
Also latent heat of fusion= 80 cal/g
latent heat of vaporization=540 cal/g
The following processes occur during the above said conversion.
Ice(263K)ice(273K)water(273K)water(373K)steam(373K)
Thus total heat absorbed=(0.5×10+80+1×100+540) cal=725 cal=3045J
