Question

How much heat energy is released when 5g of water at 20oC changes to ice at 0oC?
[Specific heat capacity of water =4.2Jg1C1.
Specific latent heat of fusion of ice =336Jg1]

Open in App
Solution

Heat energy =mcΔT+mL
where, m = mass of water
c = specific heat capacity of water
L = specific latent heat of fusion of ice
ΔT = change in temperature
Therefore, heat energy released =5×4.2×20+5×336=420+1680 =2100J
